SPLENDORS OF DISCOVERY

The magnitude of our God-given lives goes far beyond our perceptions. We do recognize that the sky has billions of stars, the beauty in the sunrises and the serenity of colors in sunsets. We admire God’s creations in the quickness of hummingbirds and at the grandeur of waterfalls. Each day, we alone discover something new God has provided. Not any of us will ever find all He has blessed the earth with during our time here. Valuing every minute of the day will allow for continual new splendors, brought to us by our ever-loving God.

DRUMS, PEACE AND HEAVEN

DRUMS, PEACE AND HEAVEN

To quiet the spirit and soul,
visualize a waterfall of grandeur.
Feel the powerful, misty spray,
flowers close by,
always ready for another crispy, cold drink.
Imagine its sound,
picturing all the drums in heaven
playing an energetic and splendid symphony,
the waters splashing into a rainbow of pools below,
the ground shaking in perfect beat.
Be placed
in the center of this sensation,
the plentiful strands
of the cherished liquid,
acting in the role
of a precious shield,
feeling God's love and peace.

VASTNESS

VASTNESS
As I envision the vastness of the sea, never seeing where it ends, my thoughts lead me to another vastness, that of Heaven. Up in the skies there is a mighty Kingdom, God’s Kingdom. It is flowing over with love, stretching into eternity. I try to conceptualize what Heaven looks like, knowing it is a nirvana of divine happiness. God provides His domain with peace, calmness, joy and serenity. The tranquility is one of pure bliss. It is time to relax in this harmonious world. There is no more grieving, sadness, pain, worries or judgment. They have been erased from the mind. It is time now to laugh, sing and dance, and even skip merrily if you want. No one will care.
Elegant pools are endless, holding clear, cold water, ever so pure. How fresh the water is, sipping it, tasting it. Awe-inspiring waterfalls hang over the edge of the pools, pouring their crisp sprays of water into the boundless gardens. Gardens of every kind permeate the Kingdom. There are simple gardens of petunias and massive gardens of iris and orchids, unleashing a fragrance of fine perfume. The lush greens and colors make it an enchanted dreamland. Stepping away from the gardens, there are more pools, this time brimming over with warm water. How nice it is to immerse into the pool, with only the gentlest of wave in it, providing a soothing sense of placidity to the soul.
In the distance, there is music heard. The angels are forever joyful, displaying their exuberance through song. Voices, harps and trumpets create a splendid symphony. There is no time in heaven, meaning there are always jubilant sounds heard, as the warmness of the sun radiates upon them.
This grand empire belonging to God holds the generations of loved ones who have left us. They are waiting patiently to grasp the hands of those who have departed from earth, welcoming them to their new home, a timeless life in Paradise.
