\"\"<\/a>When I open my eyes in the morning to a scene like this one, lying snuggled up comfortably in my bed, I wonder if this is what it will look like when Jesus comes! Someday I will know, but until then I have to keep marching on \u2013 God has work for me here.<\/em><\/p>\n

There are many who don\u2019t understand the evangelical Christian\u2019s concept of looking forward to leaving this fallen world and heading to our true home \u2013 Heaven. They can\u2019t comprehend the celebration of a loved one passing into glory and away from this life. When I see the \u201cgrave markers\u201d in novelty catalogues imploring a loved one to come back down here, I shudder. Why would anyone wish to take seeing Jesus and spending the rest of their life in glory away from someone they cherish? I realize it is all a matter of perspective. I am not planning to rush things along in any way, but I will be delighted to finally see Jesus face to face when He calls me home!<\/p>\n
