I REMEMBER….. I CAN’T WAIT
We are coming up on our second week of THE END series, which is bringing up all kinds of emotions, thoughts and feelings about my future, our future. I don’t know how many of you know this but being the Disney enthusiast that we are at the Ayala household we are fully aware that this week marks the 40
th Anniversary of the opening of Disneyworld in Orlando, FL. Well that brings me back to my childhood growing up in southern California and my memories of Disneyland and walking through the gates for the first time and being flooded with all the smells, the sights and sounds, I mean you can almost taste it. Then I REMEMBER, now being an adult with kids of my own, taking our kids to Disneyworld for the first time and not only experiencing all the emotions that come with that but looking down and seeing the excitement and a sense of AWE on their faces. There are not many experiences in the world that compares with this, except for one. This memory I have yet to make, but I CAN’T WAIT to experience heaven and walking through the gates of eternity as a family and being able to see the sights and hear the sounds and the overwhelming sense of AWE of my God.
What is your favorite family memory?
What is it about heaven that you are looking forward to the most?
Any thoughts?
Favorite family memory? Wow – that’s tough!! For me, it would have to be taking Addisyn to see “Sesame Stree Live” last year. She was so in awe of all the singing, colors, dancing, etc. Bubba said that he loved it because not only was Addisyn having a great time, he looked at my face, and the joy of being able to do this with our daughter was beaming from me. We are seeing “Beauty and the Beast”(Broadway Version) in a couple of weeks, and I am sure she and I will both be in amazement – her at the beautiful singing, but me in amazement for how God has blessed me with a miracle that took 7-1/2 years to receive!!
What am I looking forward to in Heaven? Well, I think you are trying to trick us with that question, because obviously, it is Jesus, but I am looking forward to seeing my grandparents. Most of all, I am looking forward to worshipping God with a group of believers who won’t have their own personal agendas, won’t be worried about how foolish they look, won’t be concerned with all the non-important stuff. They will just be loving on the Father because He is worthy. Can’t wait!! (I kinda think we experienced this on Sunday!)
Thanks for pouring into my life and for being a great Pastor and friend!!
What an amzing picture! Although the castle and pixie dust are breath taking, they won’t hold a candle to what heaven holds. So grateful for a relentless Father that paid a much higher price than I will ever know so I can call heaven & all its splendor MINE!!
