Karen's Threads of Hope

Heaven's Song: "Ok, so I just listened to the BJ Thomas song, ' Home Where I Belong', and started thinking about how seriously Heaven sounds good to me tonight.. Just thinking of no illness, no pain, no worries.. Just Jesus... And as I thought of a comment I read from Dennis Jernigan, about wanting to be home today, I smiled, thinking how loved that man must feel as he walks in a door knowing so many have missed him after being gone a few days.. What an awesome homecoming for an earthly husband, father, and friend..
Then I started thinking about how Jesus might be thinking about my own homecoming to Heaven, and thinking how excited He might be knowing one of His kids is Home .. Nope, not wanting to leave planet earth quite yet, but hey, sometimes I have to wonder why I am still here, ya know? Anyway, this poem just came - kind of a song in my spirit as it was playfully written just now.. nothing great, but to my spirit tonight, it is a song of praise as I think how awesome Heaven sounds right now.

I know that heaven is where we long for..
and Glory is what we know we'll see
But in the waiting for that to happen
Aren't you glad we have a God, who knows us intimately?

So let's thank our God for His presence
as we raise our hands in praise and worship above
for with our voice we will sing of His mercies forever
as we give ourselve's to the Redeemer whom we love

Yes, heaven is where we will see our Savior
our Home where we will cry out ' Glory to His Name '
hearing all God's children singing in one big chorus -
thinking, ' oh how heaven will never be the same !'

I know that heaven is where I long for..
And I know it's there where my Jesus will always be
and in the time I have down here , I will serve Him
Yes, I'll love the Redeemer, because of what my God did for me.
