Why so many articles or wise words about losing loved ones recently, I wonder? I don't like it. It's not the most trusting of situations. It's definitely an area where I lack in my full trust. Sometimes the idea of going on to be with my Father does not concern me at all. Sometimes, like right now, however, I do not like the idea of moving into the eternal world.
I do like the way C.S. Lewis portrayed heaven. I like that. I like thinking that I'll recognize the uniqueness of each spirit that I've ever known. A friend recently said to me, "I want to find restoration with my brothers and my parents...I think relationships are eternal." I believe that friend's words were inspired from heavenly wisdom. I could be wrong, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't make any difference. It brings me peace, and Jesus is peace. : )
I am finding some enjoyment in theatre again. That's nice. However, I am missing my days of hikes and long walks...but the cicadas are prohibiting me from doing that anyway!!! Hm...maybe the cicadas are actually a gift. They keep me wanting to be inside, allowing me to enjoy rehearsals, instead of wishing I were out wandering in the woods.
