More thoughts about .. .

I stood on the porch of the Mansion (where I work) this morning, thinking sadly that I don't have such a place for my family; I thought of how much fun it would be for the kids to have such a wonderful place to live and play. I then imagined the family that first lived here, and wondered if their children had enjoyed it as much as I imagined. I thought that only children, clear-eyed and carefree, would be able to enjoy it completely.

Then I thought of the scripture verse, "My Father's house has many rooms, I go before you to prepare a place for you." To me this is God's promise of happiness in Heaven; everything we love, that brings us happiness, He is preparing for us, it is waiting for us after this life.

And then I put the two together with another scripture verse: "Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it."

I can almost, almost know what it means. I can't put it into better words than what I've just written.
