A Post for Me

I just need to be reminded of this. 


"So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while.  These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold- and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."  1 Peter 1:6-7

No, I don't really want praise or glory or honor. I'd trade all of that away to relieve Forest of this trial. But, I am truly glad that there is wonderful joy ahead. I am truly glad that there is a heaven. Where there is no sickness, no death, no crying...

I long for heaven.
