Can Heaven wait?

The little girls and I had a great talk about Heaven during lunch today. Well, it was more of a questionfest and Daddy was silenced during most of the questions...

What will we do in Heaven?
Will we have Bible time in Heaven?
Can I eat gluten in Heaven?
How will I get to Heaven?

And as they asked question after question, they all were like, "I want to go to Heaven, now!" Brady said something she must have heard me say before, "We are here because God must have something he wants us to do!!!"

Kamryn was quiet for awhile and then started talking about the rapture. Won't that be cool to see Jesus in the air. We talked about how people driving cars will just start floating up and cars will crash. Then, later she came in laughing. She said, I was thinking about how funny it would be to be on the trampoline jumping and then all of a sudden just to have the jump keep going up! I thought that was pretty funny as well.

Then, to top it off, Kam texted me from steph's phone to mine. Her first message was something like: "Up, Up, Up. I am floating up!" And then the next message was, "I'm in Heaven. Hi Jesus!"

The hope of Heaven here in Zambia is so real because life here is such a tragedy. But, let us not let money, comfort or anything else cloud the vision of the reality of heaven as our home!

Php 3:20-21 - But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
