heaven

i normally keep this blog a deep thought free zone. i want to look back on it years from now and remember the happy fun times, not necessary the struggles and complicated ones. but this is something i always want to remember.
it's from the book Heaven by randy alcorn. he is explaining time and if there will be time in Heaven. he writes, "when we say good-bye in Heaven, we'll know people won't die before we see them next. time will no longer be and hourglass in which the sands go from a limited past to a limited future. our future will be unlimited. we'll no longer have to "number our days" (Psalm 90:12) or redeem the time, for time won't be a diminishing resource about to end."
he then quotes Henry Berkhof who says, "time is the mould of our created human existence. Sin led to the fact that we have no time, and that we spend a hurried existence between past and future. but the consummation as the glorification of existence will not mean that we are taken out of time and delivered from time, but that time as the form of our glorified existence will also be fulfilled and glorified. consummation means to live again in the succession of past, present, and future, but in such a way that the past moves along with us as a blessing and the future radiates through the present so that we strive without restlessness and rest with out idleness, and so that, though always progressing, we are always at our destination."
what a great day that will be:)
