Paradigm shift: we alter the way ...I agree, Connie!<br />Paradigm shift: we alter the way we perceive things or look deeper to those we normally ignore. I walk slowly around my heaven and saw a lot of marvelous things which our hurried eyes and pace failed to see.<br /><br />I think when Jesus said that there is a place somewhere better (no death, no mourning, etc.) it is that everlasting place that can only be reached and enjoyed without the burden of our physical selves. <br /><br />Surprisingly, it is in that place where we are most fulfilled!<br /><br />A happy hearts day to you and Barley!

Our world is only part of our reality, but there is an unseen reality and you touched on it beautifully. We long for that new Earth. I especially long for the beauty of Christ!

Perhaps that says something about my immature faith, but it is what it is. However, I do yearn for a place of no sickness or pain or <br />suffering of friends and family, of no failures on my part, and of other PERFECT states of being. Some people thing heaven will be like earth, only without all those bad and negative and painful things. I do yearn for that... just haven't been able to yearn for John's vision.pens and needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419188410602193272noreply@blogger.com
