Love and Lost

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.
