Heaven on Earth

I saw a sign today that read: “Live like heaven is on earth.” I instantly thought, How are we supposed to do that?? We don’t have to look very far before we see poverty, loss, kids treated badly…the list goes on and on. So are we supposed to ignore the ugly stuff, floating along with our heads in the clouds while others suffer? I don’t think that’s what God had in mind. We pray asking God to remind us of just how temporary this suffering is, then remind others of this fact as well. This too shall pass. We could all use reminders that there’s still good around us….maybe even something that looks a whole lot like heaven. (Sara Wylie)
