738.0. "When We All Get to Heaven" by CSLALL::HENDERSON (Learning to lean) Wed May 24 1995 23:42



  I'm sure we all think of what heaven will be like and who and what we will
  see..Certainly we want to see the Lord and give Him the praise that he is 
  due, and maybe some of the prophets, or Paul or Peter..

  But, what about others whom we've known in our Christian life?  I personally
 will look forward to seeing a man who first pointed me to Jesus Christ..a
 man named Joshua Valverde.  I worked with Josh at 2 different places, and
 I can't help but think that it was part of God's plan that we work together.
 His life truly reflected Jesus Christ and he was the first to explain to me
 just what Jesus did for us.  Though it took a couple years for it all to
 come together, I know the Lord used Josh to point me to Him.  I've been think-
 ing about him a lot lately, and I look forwawrd to seeing him in heaven..


 Also, my mother..she died when I was 8.  I have a Bible here that was hers
 given to her in 1925 when she was 8 years old..she has some verses underlined
 and little "m's" like birds in various places..and, my grandmother who used
 to play Tennessee Ernie Ford singing "How Great Thou Art" and The Old Rugged
 Cross" over and over, and would spend hours reading her Bible..

 I'm not sure if my Dad will be there..


 
 Who will you be anxious to meet in Heaven?

    I'll be anxious to see my Grandfather Bradshaw and my Grandmother
    Snipp.  But I'll be most anxious to see that boy I led to the Lord on
    my way back home from camp!  Oscar Soliz was his name... I was 15 and
    he was 16.  I've often wondered where he is today...
    
    And of course, I'll see Ed! :-)  He'll be riding that white horse!

30 years ago I met a fellow I'd previously known at school - in a church in
a totally different town.  I'd never known he got saved.  I look forward to
meeting many I've prayed for but never seen the results of the prayer.  And
many I've prayed for but never met in the flesh (including a lot of dear 
folks here ;-).  I also look forward to meeting my mother...

    I look forward to meeting my paternal Grandparents who died in
    1946 and 1953 and my maternal grandmother who passed away in
    1962.  They all died before I was born and I can't to see them
    and thank them for my wonderful parents.  I also pray that my
    Uncle Floyd is with the Lord.  I don't know though.  He was
    murdered in 1990 after having disappeared for 19 years.  I
    vaguely remember him from when I was very young.
    
    Also, there are so many who have planted seeds in my life and
    do not know it.  Someday, I will see them and thank them for
    their faithfulness.  (Reminds me of that song, "Thank your, for
    giving to the Lord")

.5 makes me weep.  That you have come to believe the most holy God-ordained
union on earth, one of His most precious gifts to us, is creating inequality
is just so sad.

We've had our disagreements, Patricia.  I've felt frustration toward you,
concern, occasionally even anger.  But right now I'm just sad over all that
has been stolen from you.

Weeping for you, my sister

    Paul, 
    
    See my note in chit chat.  
    
    My attempt to be a wise guy in .5 failed miserably.  I am going to
    delete that note.   Thanks for your concern and fortunately that
    concern is not needed.

    I'll be overcome with joy at seeing my daughter, Caroline.  But more
    than that, I'll be happy to see Jesus's face, fall at His feet and
    worship Him without a veil for as long as He'll allow.  I can't wait for 
    this.
    
    I'm particularly excited about being free from the torture of sin too.

738.11just a joke!VNABRW::WILLIAMSTue Jun 13 1995 05:3225
    I think that this joke fits in here!
    
    Ex President Bush when entering Heaven was told by St. Peter that there 
    are very interesting people in Paradise. You will get to know all of 
    them he added, but I think if I introduce you to some of them it will 
    make it easier.

    " Who would you like to start with? " St. Peter asked.

    " Well Moses was a very interesting man " replied Bush "for he was 
    chosen by God to introduce the code that the US constitution is based on 
    today "

    St. Peter approaches Moses: " Moses I have ex President Bush here who 
    wishes to see you " 

    " No way! " replied Moses

    " But why don't you want to see him? " asked St. Peter
    
    Moses replied:
    "The last time I listened to a bush I ended up walking 40 years in the 
    desert".
