Horror and Heaven

As a family doctor, I have seen and heard some really terrible things, and nothing shocks me anymore. Or so I thought... Several week ago, a patient came to my office crying, and when she finished telling me of an unimaginable horror that occurred in her family, I was utterly speechless.... There are some days when I don’t want to be a doctor anymore. That day was one of them.

I think about heaven a lot. I can imagine my heavenly Father running to me, embracing me in his loving arms, and then saying, “Welcome home my son.” Then in the security and comfort and joy of his embrace, all the horrors and evils of this world will simply fade away...
