A Lot to Look Forward To

I've been reading Randy Alcorn's book, Heaven. What a fantastic place to be! Oh the people we'll meet and the things we'll see! Best of all, we get to hug Jesus!

I was recently reminded of another great aspect of Heaven. One I'm truly looking forward to. Jessica was dusting and perusing my Grandmother's books that were on the shelf. She found this: It is Benjamin Franklin's Epitaph on Himself.

The body of Benjamin Franklin, printer, like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding, lies here, food for worms. But the work shall not be lost; for it will, as he believed, appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the Author.

What a fantastic thought! It goes for all of us! Isn't the love, grace, and faithfulness of God something else!
