I haven't posted a blog entry in ages. Contrary to popular belief, I don't just talk to talk :) - I have been waiting to have something to say :)
Here, in Connecticut, we are having an unseasonably mild winter, (minus the wreckage of Autumn Storm Alfred a few days before Halloween) :)
Therefore, many of us are in some sort of state of expectancy... WAITING for winter... or dreading it, depending on your mindset
Me? I am not big fan of the sleet, freezing rain, snow (to drive in), "wintery mix" (ugh!), or even really heavy rain for that matter... my car slides in puddles... :/
It's a challenge making plans when you know that "weather" could come along and wreck them at any moment...it's almost that "edge of your seat" waiting............................................................................................... when.....................................is.........................................the...............................................winter.............................................going....................................to.........................................................................................................................get here?????
You prepare, plan, and stockpile :P (racing to the grocery store at every questionable forecast, buying all the toilet paper, milk, eggs, and bread that your fridge will hold) ... when those flakes start to fall, you almost sigh.. it's here....
It's kind of that way, waiting for heaven... it's so hard to believe that heaven is so close, when the mundane is so ever present.
We prepare, plan, and wait for that moment when we step foot into eternity. When, in the words of Max Lucado - celebrated author, the angels decorate with pink and blue streamers at our entrance into heaven!
I walk with one foot here, in the present; and one foot anxiously looking forward, to my eternal Home <3
