My sister-in-law was with me for a vacation for the last ten days and it was such a lovely time. We rested and exercised and ate healthy and did all the fun girl-stuff. It ministered to both of our souls. We talked together and prayed together and encouraged each other. I was reminded of how much I love being with safe family. We compared notes about how to handle unsafe family and the challenges of this fallen life. Then we imagined how it will be when Heaven comes to earth and we are all perfected. The challenging believers will no longer be a challenge and we’ll all be “safe” and “fun” and “perfect”! We both can’t wait. I wrote a chapter in God for Everyone about what the perfected after-life might be like and I told Cindy that focusing on it It wetted my appetite big-time for my “graduation to glory” and the days of perfection ahead. Lord, please come quickly – I had so much fun with my sister, I can’t imagine how great it will be to be with you – I can’t wait!!!
