heaven

"There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven; but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else...It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want, the thing we desired before we met our wives or made our friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on our deathbeds, when the mind no longer knows wife or friend or work...All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just beyond the grasp of your consciousness. The day is coming when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have attained it." C.S. Lewis

Glimpses of heaven-
hummingbirds drinking from my butterfly bush outside the kitchen window
looking at justin as he sings to Jesus
admiring my sister
my two cats snuggling
gram's hugs
my dad's swedish buns
holding ethan
making a new kindred spirit friend
cooking a big fancy dinner for people I love
walking along the beach at dusk/dawn
