Looking Forward to Heaven...Won't It Be Grand

Revelation 21:1-3King James Version (KJV)

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Dear Friends,

As Christians we have something to look forward to.
A grand day is coming when we will reach our heavenly home.One of my favorite deacon's who has gone home to be with the Lord would sing the following song with such fervor.  I cannot locate the author but it has been recorded by various artists over the years and can be found on youtube.

May you be blessed as you meditate on the lyrics.

in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
