Knowing What I Know About Heaven

I came across a very beautiful song after the untimely death of my niece. It's called Knowing What I Know About Heaven and Sarah Darling is one of the talented people who have a version of it. Guy Penrod is another. Both are equally touching, amazing songs, that almost celebrate the joy of arriving in heaven.

When you really think about the song, the words touch you in a most powerful way. Why on earth would I want you back? Imagine if you will, and I'm sure you all can relate to the pain and suffering of this world. Disease, emotional, physical abuse abounds. If you had the chance to walk away from all of this, have peace and comfort in your life, wouldn't you want to chose that path? I would and I would want to take all of my family and friends with me. Because who doesn't want the best for those you love the most? Can you imagine sharing this wonderful place with each other?

Of course it is heartbreaking and sad to have someone we love so much taken from us and this earth. Our hearts break for days to years after their gone. Time makes the pain lesson in severity, and God comforts us to know they are safe. It's still a void in our lives, one we can't imagine filling, and honestly never do. But then we realize how honored we are to have had them in our lives and knowing they are resting without stress and strife just makes the journey all the more special.

Why on earth would I want you back, when you are somewhere that love never ends? Knowing what I know about Heaven....puts a smile on my face and assurance in my heart, all is well. Tell those you love, that you do love them, every single day. Share the goodness of our God, who is peaceful, loving and kind. Show your friends and family all is in His will, His way, His time.
