What Are You Looking Forward To?

With our lives on hold for the most part, it’s a good time to make a bucket list of what you hope to do when life resumes.  I’ve been blessed with a good bit of travel already, but still hope to do much more in the future! So there’s that. And of course, just spending as much time as possible with my family.  I love my kids and grandkids to the moon and back. Our precious moms as well.

One thing that is pretty certain is that this life is short.  I hope I’m still middle aged at 54, but that would be the best case scenario!  I can’t complain, but only count my many, many blessings. I am so happy to know that the best is yet to come.

The blessings of this life satisfy for a little while, but not fully or finally.  Only God can satisfy our deepest needs and desires. He really can! He made us with a void that only He can fill. He is actually jealous for us to know this is true.  Kind of like a jealous husband. He has a right to our hearts since He made us for HImself. He is the only One who knows you fully and loves you fully.  

Sounds too good to be true?  I know. But it is. I have tasted and seen how good, how personal,  how true, how faithful, how loving, how patient, how forgiving He is.

This is not about religion.  This is about a relationship with your Creator.  And it’s about preparing for the trip of a lifetime that will last forever and ever.  Way better than any destiny you have experienced. Your ticket there is simply to trust in Jesus.  

Are you ready for the next adventure?  To a beautiful place that is free from sin, politics, viruses, sadness, suffering, injustice, intolerance, hatred, violence and unemployment?!  I pray so!
