“Embrace what God has given you here. Look with a child’s eyes of wonder at the clear blue sky and the hiss of green. Breathe deep the fragrance of a rose or a baby’s hair. Listen to the music of a bird’s morning song or the rustling of leaves in the wind. Feel the warmth of the afternoon sun or the coolness of an evening breeze. Taste the sweetness of a succulent orange or the sourness of a lemon. Love those around you with a fervency that cannot be quenched.”
“While enjoying your journey here, remind yourself that something greater lies ahead. The joys of this earth pale in comparison to the glories of heaven. In heaven, it will be as if our eyes are finally opened and our ears can finally hear. Our weak, frail bodies will be replaced with bodies that will never perish. We will be in the sweet presence of a loving God. No pain or sorrow will ever tear our hearts.”
“Live life to the full because we are not long for this earth. An eternity awaits us in heaven.”
