I know you're there, waiting for me. So, how's heaven, really? Are the angels always flying around or do they stop and talk with you? Do they walk with you? Do you have a home where you live, or do you travel all over heaven walking with the angels or Our Loving Lord?
I have a friend you've never met, and she's quickly nearing the day when she will fall into the open arms of God. She and I have decided that we will meet at the river that flows through heaven when we both cross over. How big is that river? Will I be able to see her across the river? Do you ever walk the banks of that river? Are the waters really living?
Is there food in heaven? I know the Heavenly Food, the Eucharist, will always be enthroned there, but do you gather for meals or prayer times? Are there parties and celebrations? What do you say when you see each other in heaven? Do you have a heavenly name?
Are you there waiting for me? I miss you so much! Do you plan to greet me at the threshold of heaven? Will you take me to meet Jesus when I pass the boundaries of time and space? What does it feel like to be in the absolute presence of God?
You left me earlier than either of us had planned. I long for the day when we see each other again. I'm happy here, but I long for the joy of seeing the Risen Lord. I long for the joy of seeing you and holding you again. Will I be able to touch you? Will I feel your hand in mine? Will you be at the river waiting for me, too?
It's not my time yet, I know that. One day, it will be. My name is written somewhere in that Book of Life. Until then, I love you, and I miss you.
How's Heaven, really?
I am a retired special education teacher and a cradle Catholic. I grew up in a home where the Rosary was prayed every night as a family. My grandmother did not accept any excuses for the family not to gather and pray the Rosary. As a result, I have been blessed with a strong devotion to Our Lady, the Woman Clothed in the Sun, whose job it is to lead us to her most beloved Son, Jesus. Although, not always strong in the practice of my Catholic faith, I have been blessed with the graces to return to the faith of my parents and grandparents. A faith that is strong and rich in the belief of the triune God, Mary, the Mother of God, the saints and our beloved angels. A faith that is strong and rich in the heritage of the Apostles and martyrs. A faith that is rich in mysticism. A faith that is rich in the love of God who is also the great I AM. I have weathered many storms in my life. Most of them, as I look back, I could not have survived without the infinite love of God. I praise God and I thank Him for His love for me.
