So we’re having a good vacation … fishing for those who like to fish, swimming for those who like to swim, porch sitting for me. My parents were here yesterday evening and most of today. They’ll be back for the weekend and my brothers and their families will be joining us. But here’s the real fly in the ointment … my friends back in Virginia aren’t here. That’s the real problem. I’m only with them during the humdrum of daily life. I don’t get to share the fun of vacation with them. And I’m missing them all pretty badly. I said as much to LightHusband. He says that’s what heaven is. It’s not about pearly gates, gold streets, and crowns with jewels … it’s when we get to spend eternity with God and all our friends.
