aching for heaven

i'll be honest. i go through most days enjoying the life God has blessed me with here on this earth. but in the last few days, so many things have happened to so many people around me that i'm really aching for heaven today....infertility, children sick, husbands sick, financial issues, huge decisions with no good outcome...and on and on. i'm aching for that perfection that those of us that KNOW Him will experience one day. i feel like my heart and soul are groaning for it. thankfully, today, none of this is happening to me. but i feel it for those around me and i hate it. i want to take it away...heal them, pay for what they need, etc. but i can't. and i hate that too. all of this helps me realize how very little control i (we) have over our lives. and it also helps me to look beyond this life...

I totally know what you mean. However, it is awesome to know that one day there is a place where sadness and pain will not exist and we will rejoice and praise our heavenly father for eternity. This gives me hope!

it is SO good to know that this is not all we have!!!! It's a GOOD thing that your soul is groaning for eternity - that's how we were MADE!
