A PREVIEW of heaven.. Heaven manifests in practical terms daily..
The sun was slowly going down
In golden splendor in the west
Surrounded by reds blues and whites
Mingled together
It was as though
An artist was standing there
Painting this beautiful artwork
As the sun went down
It was the most beautiful sight
I’d seen on earth
And I thanked God
For letting me see it
It was like a preview of heaven!
The next morning
Driving along a country road
It was foggy
And light rain was falling
Rays of the sun
We’re coming through the fog
Umbrella shaped acacia trees
Appeared like they’d diamonds on them
It was the most beautiful sight
And I thanked God for letting me
See this beautiful sight
It was like a preview of heaven!
Later the fog went away
I sat in the balcony
The moon was bright
There were millions of stars
Spread across the skies
I was in awe
Of what I was seeing
It was a timeless breathtaking heaven
A beauty that filled me with wonder
A stillness that hit me with awe
A silence that splashed me with peace
It was like a preview of heaven!
The next day I met
The love of my life
Under lovely clear skies
I coiled my arm around her
With the other I grasped her hair
Our heads tipped back
Our eyes looked up
The moon was full
The stars bright
The evening winds real
The clouds bathed in great sea
Beyond the heavens
A scene that brought tears to my eyes
And I thanked God for letting me
Experience this moment
It was like a preview of heaven!
Here I’m fascinatingly looking
At my one day old twin babies
I catch the expression on their faces
As they behold a strange new world
For the first time
It’s a look that cannot be purchased
Anywhere
At any store
At any price
I hear their first cries
And see their lids twitching
To grasp the cinematographic value of the world
A world that would be theirs
Laugh and grow in
It’s a moment no one can deny me
And I thanked God for letting me
See this moment
It was like a preview of heaven!
And I said to God
For the past couple of days
You have revealed to me
All these beauty
And each gets more beautiful
It just dawned on me
You’ve been showing me
A preview of heaven!
