My heart is open....

[eyeful_wonder]

I am up late tonight, thinking, praying. I suppose living by myself has given me more time, and more space for thoughts to flow, for me to cry more freely, for my heart to open and allow My Father to work his wonderful blessings. I began thinking about my family, my grandparents, my friends, everyone in my life that is special to me. And I started hoping, that someday, God would save up all the memories I have of these people, and the moments we shared in a special book. So that when I die, I am able to relive every beautiful memory I had with them. But then I thought, will it be the same in heaven? Reliving something that happened on earth? And then it dawned on me. All those wonderful memories (with more to come) you can say, were all little pieces of heaven, and if I'll be there....then I'll be experiencing the very component that made the memory such a great encounter to begin with.The beautiful things is, those memories sustain me now, all the wonderful people in my life sustain me, and keep me happy when I'm down...even if they aren't there...the beauty of who they are...of what they mean to me help me out when I'm feeling alone, or blue. And all this love that we share, I wonder...how it would be for God to see this, and the angels in heaven. To see us love each other, and cry for pain on how much we love each other, and then for us to pray and love a God, a loving Father, that we cannot see, and to cry for love of him. I wonder how beautiful that must be. It reminds me of a song we sang at church back home..
"We are many parts
we are all one body
and the gifts we have, we are given to share
May the spirit of love, make us one indeed
One that love that we share
One our hope and despair
One the cross that we bear"
My hope and prayer for today, and tomorrow, and for all the days of my life and yours, is that we may love each other, the way God has so unconditionally loved us.
