When we All Get to Heaven

Our Heavenly Homecoming

I am waiting with happy anticipation today because after five and a half months of caring full time for her sister in California my wife is coming home. Her sister is stable for now and she has found a couple of wonderful ladies to help with her daily needs. The joy of Nancy’s homecoming made me think this morning of another homecoming that Jesus has planned for us in heaven. Are you ready for that journey? Have you printed out your boarding pass yet? Jesus has purchased your ticket. All you need to do is receive it by faith and trust that He knows how to carry you safely home!

For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  2 Corinthians 5:1 NIV

Amazing Hope

First the shockingly bad news – This extended lock down has turned into something of a lock out. Churches, Long Term Care facilities and even many homes are locked out of their normal activities all over the world. But the Good news is more shocking than the bad! Jesus specializes in showing up even when we lock the doors!

Jesus is Praying for You!

I was broadsided by the news yesterday that the nursing home which I visited for many years lost 25 residents to Covid-19. The numbers always sound less when you hear them on the news, but when these are folks you know and love they become overwhelming. I prayed over what to include in this week’s video which is seen in several of the homes which I once visited and God gave me this uplifting thought. Jesus is praying for us.

And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.  And when evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.  And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. .. Mark 6:46-48a

Please pray for me and for those in nursing homes in your own community as well as mine. Have a blessed week-end knowing that Jesus is ready to walk out on any waters you and sinking in today!
