"Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth." ~ Ayn Rand
We dream of heaven and all that awaits us rather than embrace what is before us. God is a great Giver and certainly would not withhold gifts until some future date when they could be lavished upon us now. God wants us to live fully, celebrating each moment. My heart longs to be united with the divine here, not just in my dreams or some distant era. Don't wait--seek out beauty, truth, joy, serenity, and the sacred here. Then when you get to heaven, rather than feeling as if you are dreaming, you will instead be slipping on a comfortable, favourite coat that has been well-worn. You will have arrived home.
Peace,
Suzanne
