Anyway, I titled this post "A Taste of Heaven" because I think I've had several in the last few weeks. In the last few weeks, I've had some incredibly sweet moments with friends, and each time, I leave with the same feeling: sadness. I'm always sad when I leave those moments because they've been so rare and sweet and beautiful in my life. Don't mistake that sentence for me saying that I've led a sad life, because that is NOT it at all, but I can count on one hand the number of times that I can remember being truly sad that a day or a moment has ended because it was just so beautiful. The most recent moments have had one major thing in common: friends. In each instance, I've been surrounded by my friends, people who I love, who love me and each other, and who weren't being divided by insignificant disagreements or petty annoyances. We were just people who love Jesus spending time together. We were having fun, and being ourselves. And I've come to realize that while I was mourning the loss of those perfect moments, I was mourning a loss of heaven. Because heaven is something beautiful. Heaven is being in perfect harmony with Jesus, which is also being with others who believe in Jesus. When we get to heaven, we'll be surrounded by our brothers and sisters in Christ, all of whom we love, and we'll get to be face to face with Jesus, and know His love for us in a more tangible way than we have here on earth. And I am SO EXCITED for that day!
I may have posted some similar thoughts a while back when I posted about "perfect moments," but it felt appropriate in light of the Christmas season to bring up some of these thoughts again.
Anyway, Merry Christmas!
Love, Becca
