Heaven

Here’s the family singing Heaven together!

When Hurricane Mitch came through and devastated Honduras and other places in the late 90’s, I got depressed because, as weird as it sounds, the hurricane had the same name as me.  It got me thinking about all the difficult things that go on in this world, how children are killed in natural disasters, people lose their homes; we hear about it in the news, get sad for a few minutes and then forget about it, except some who go to bring relief, but those are few and far between.  It made me want to go to heaven, where there will be no more tears or death or pain and reminded me of the hope I have in Jesus.

“Well I’m praying for sunshine but the clouds keep on coming and I don’t know why I’ve waited so long

And the children they keep crying and the people they keep crying but they don’t know what to say anymore – oh

I’m mourning in song, but I keep on rolling on and mamma lost her children yesterday

There’s darkness in the valleys and fire on the mountain and thunder in the skies today – oh

Let me ride with the wind, with Jesus as my friend and I’ll go on up to heaven someday – oh…”

As I considered the reality of people wanting peace on earth, but living purposely in sin against God, lying politicians, nuclear proliferation, abortion for convenience and the way technology has disconnected us from each other in the name of progress, in our pride we don’t want to see any of it, but again I long for Christ to come back and make all things well again.
