Dodger: Hey there! Is it just me, or is summer just flying by?
Lilly: I can't even believe how time has zoomed past. It's almost unbelievable!
Dodger: Still, this is as good as it gets. Warm weather, great friends, life is truly beautiful.
Lilly: I agree...although, this isn't as good as it gets.
Dodger: Right, right. We're going to a theme park tomorrow.
Lilly: That's not what I meant, Dodger.
Dodger: Well, what did you mean, then?
Lilly: I mean there's even more for us in store than this summer, or even this life.
Dodger: Riiiight...and you're of course referring to heaven?
Lilly: Yes. I think sometimes we tend to kind of put heaven in a box and forget how wonderful it's going to be. It's not just floating on clouds and playing harps - there's going to be all sorts of people, and food, and most of all, it never stops! A life with God, forever and ever...I'm not sure there's even a way to quantify how amazing that's going to be.
Dodger: I think, though, that Revelation does describe a little bit of it. It's chapter 21, verse 4, and it says this: "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away (NKJV).”
Lilly: A world without any kind of pain. Now that's an amazing promise.
Dodger: It's the promise God gives us. Today may be great, or it may be terrible- but every day with God can be rejoiced in, because one day we'll see Him face to face.
Lilly: It's like the unending summer!
Dodger: Yep...only ten quadrillion zillion billion jillion times better.
Lilly: Well, that's awesome.
Dodger: It is indeed. Hey, we'd better get going. I got to go to bed early so I'm fresh for tomorrow's roller coaster rides.
Lilly: Me too. Thanks for visiting us today!
Dodger: It's always fun hanging out with you. Remember, Jesus loves you, and that's not about to change!
Lilly: Ciao!
