You are so very special

Neat sentiment, huh?  I was looking

for something small and came upon it.

I love how the card turned out in 

general.  I borrowed an idea from 

pinterest but totally changed it, so

no copying on this one!

Black, white and red just look so 

elegant together, don't they?

I was thinking more on the book I talked about

yesterday.  If you haven't read Randy Alcorn's

book "Heaven" it's a really great read. When I was

a kid I always thought Heaven would be

boring, that we would be bodiless spirits floating

around with nothing to do.  After reading his

book I started getting excited about heaven

-not that I'm ready to go any time soon...

But I think, and there's nothing Biblical about

this that I know of, we will be able to go under

the ocean without breathing apparatus, go

to distant planets and star systems, explore the

universe.  Why would He give us such

wonders if He hadn't intended us to experience

them?  He said He saw that it was good.  He

was talking about everything.  There are so many

things under the ocean that we cannot experience

in this life.  Sure, we can see some things in 

aquariums, but many of them most of us will never

be able to experience in real life.  Have you

ever seen a humpback whale in real life?  Me either.

What got me thinking about all this was the zoo

trip on Saturday with my son Nathan and DIL

Crystal.  I would love to run up to a tiger and

give it a big hug.  In Heaven we'll be able to do 

that.  The lion will lay down with the lamb, remember?

And what about the new Earth?  I think it's going to

be just like this one only perfect.  The colours

will be like we could never imagine in our sinful

minds.  We'll be able to race a cheetah and hug the

huge bears.  Maybe even take a nap nestled

against them!  Think about it.  How cool

would it be to take a nap next to a gorgeous

lion?  Well, anyway, I do have one more

picture to show you.  

 

Isn't he a cutie?!  Heath is 7 months old

now!  The time goes so fast.  He looks just

like his daddy.
