I have read enough accounts of near death experiences to know full well that we are reunited with loved ones who have gone to Heaven before us, and that the reunion will be beyond joyous. Heaven, and its wonderfulness is beyond all human explanation, and those who have already been received into the Lords arms are looking forward to the day they can welcome us Home. Yes, they are the ones who are Home.
I heard it said once that, - as a Christian, the day I die will be the best day Ive ever lived. But it wont be the best I will ever live.
My old man on his death bed said with a smile “I’ve always said the day I die will be the best day of my life - finally get my crown of glory”. I replied “That may be true, but it’s going to be a real drag for the rest of us.”
