Waiting Room

Today, I am with my mom and nephew in Marion as my nephew awaits an oral surgery. As I sit here, I am thinking of the people that sit and wait for a procedure as they struggle with thoughts of fear of the unknown or thinking of all that can go wrong. They have the stress of how they will pay for it and what kind of restrictions they may have with foods to eat or time off from work and school. Then, I thought of my time on earth as I await Heaven. It is not with fear of whether or not I will make it or what the price will be. Jesus paid that price on a cross for me already. Because I accepted that price, while I am in the "Waiting Room" of heaven, I can live a life that looks forward with great anticipation of His second coming. What about you? How is your wait to get to Heaven going?

Philippians 3:20-21 NLT "But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.”
