Thinking on Heaven.....

I keep wondering about heaven and our new bodies....
Will we be the age we were when we left this earth, and is Jesus holding my baby?
Will we all be children running around chasing butterflies and fishing along the shore?  For I know my Jesus adores children.
Will we be ageless and will our eyes each see the other as we last remember them being and my cousin will be 12? and my grandma 62?
Will our spiritual bodies be totally different than anything we can imagine?

It is so easy for me to remember Neve as she was,
but I also imagine her with the body of a 4 year old child.
Those big brown eyes sparkling, and almost disappearing as she laughs.
Her little feet running around a field of full of purple flowers.  Her hands reaching to try and catch a
magnificently painted butterfly.  And as one lands on her hand, she looks back and smiles.

These are only the dreams of a mommy who lost those moments on earth and longs to be there running with her through that field, and yet those moments weren't truly mine to keep either.  I knew she could leave my home at anytime.  Just not this way.  Just not so permanent.

I don't know much about heaven, but I do know this....
Heaven's colors will be much more brilliant than here on earth.
Heaven's beauty is unimaginable.  Even when I go to the most beautiful place on earth it is just a
reflection of what is to come.
Heaven's joy is more pure and abounding than we will ever experience here on earth.

and when I get to Heaven I will rejoice in seeing my baby, but everything will pale in comparison of
seeing my Jesus and worshiping Him.
