Heaven has crossed my mind quite often this week. Could you imagine having a sneak peak at heaven? Would you if you really could? I’m not sure if I would...
I have been thinking about my loved ones who are no longer with us here on earth a lot. This automatically takes my thoughts towards heaven, because I believe that they are all up there having a blast and smiling down on us. Some might think that this is a naive thought, but I really don’t care. It’s a comforting thought to me and it lightens my heart knowing that someday I might be reunited with them.
I’ve been raised as catholic, but while growing up, I’ve always been very open to other religions. In the end, I myself made the conscious decision to pursue life as a Christian. This does not mean that I find Christianity better than other religions, not at all. I just believe that being a Christian is something that ‘suits’ me and my life best. Nevertheless, I remain to believe that every religion has its good. I have been fortunate to get in touch with different cultures and religions. Throughout this journey I’ve learned from all religions and it has enriched my life for the better.
One thought that have been lingering on my mind is where we go after we die. As a Christian I hope to end up in heaven. My hopes to get reunited with my loved ones is something to look forward to. On the other hand, not everybody whom I’ve lost is Christian. For instance, some are Buddhist and they believe in reincarnation, which means no heaven. Others are Muslim, Hindu, Atheist and so on...
Is it good to let my mind drift off towards these thoughts? These are things that I will never find an answer to, unless I’m able to have a sneak peak at heaven. Believe me, there’s nothing in the world that I want more than to see my loved ones again, even if it’s only for a second. But what if having this sneak peak ruins the ‘comforting thought’ that actually helps me dealing with their loss here on earth?
I don’t know why my mind plays tricks on me by letting me think of these kind of things. The overall conclusion is that I just really miss my loved ones and my hope is to see them once again some day. Will we truly get reunited? I honestly don’t know... all I know is that my thought of them partying in Heaven is very comforting!
