John 14:26 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”
My thought on Heaven has always been this, not only will I
see a lot of relatives that have passed on, like my grandma Esther and I will
even get to meet her mother Josephine, but that I will also meet a lot of folks
who I never knew by name, but my life had crossed their lives.
Don't worry I'm not planning to die or pass as they say in
the south. Also cording to a Facebook quiz
that I took to find out how old I would be when I die, it stated "You will
die at 94 in The NASCAR"! Therefore
I am good to go.
Anyway a few days ago God met a need of mine in a totally
unexpected way by a totally rare but wonderful visit from a friend. So I decided to give 10% of what I was
given. I had a debate with myself
whether it should go to the church. Then
the Holy Spirit reminded me of a conversation about filling the storehouse (My
view that's the church). Then if I
wanted to give above that well, that would be cool too.
So with $10.00 in my hand I was determined to bless someone
and before were the Golden Arches - Good old McDonalds. So I used my 10 bucks to purchase something
for the people behind me. Giving feels
AWESOME...I was floating and I thought when I meet those guys in Heaven, they
are going to tell me how that one kind act changed their perspective on humanity. (Too much oh well it's my day dream)
Then my mind glided into another group of people that I
would meet in Heaven as well. These
individuals would be made up of the people who I had given the finger to while
driving(Yes bad drivers will be in Heaven too), the telemarketers that I yelled
at, the servers that I didn't tip cause they were rude, the people that I had
gossiped about, the neighbor that I would turn away from to avoid speaking too
cause, I just didn't feel like talking.
The family member that I could have shown some grace too. The ex's who could have had some
forgiveness.
Yes they too would be there ...
The point think before you act, pray before you speak, love
before you hate, praise before you curse, cause where all going be in Heaven
one day...Yesssssss even the person that had 30 items in the 10 items or less
line.
Thank you God for the gift to write may it be a blessing Thank you God for the Holy Spirit who whispers my path and when I don't listen he shouts.
I started this post a different way...It was a lot about me doing a good thing. The post didn't feel right though so i didn't publish it.
Then it struck me - in a gentle whisper, it's not you kiddo, but the Me that is in you.
