“So when the stay-at-home order begins to lift and you get to fill your calendar with events and get togethers. Be excited and savor those events, don’t take them for granted, but don’t stop there. Let your earthly joy propel your heart to the eternal joy that waits for us in heaven. The reason why is that our earthly joys are just a taste of the eternal joys that await us. Heaven is going to be a place where there won’t be social distancing, where there won’t be COVID-19, cancer or any other disease, there won’t be worries over finances, and there won’t be death, but there will be beautiful relationships, hugs, joy unspeakable, feasting, creating, and most importantly, Christ.”
