More on "The Shack"

in the book the man describes eternity as a place where the colors are bright and perfect, the waterfalls are everflowing, the air is crisp and clean, the beauty of the place is outstanding, a place that one can only dream of. When this man reaches eternity or this place he sees three people, God is cooking, Jesus is in his woodshop building and the Holy Spirit is floating about in her garden. When I read this description of what this man was seeing it sent chills down my spine.

The Thursday before dad passed away when we were each individually summoned to his room to say our goodbyes, when I was with him, he kept talking about this peaceful place, where there was no pain, where the animals were running around freely, where the colors were just magnificent and he kept saying it is such a beautiful peaceful place. He would go on to tell me and the next couple of days tell all of us, that he kept seeing someone and he was reaching out to him. I believe dad is in eternity - he had found his way home to God. I believe they are up there along with Jesus and the Holy Spirit and Uncle Wally and all others who have gone before us just having a great time, enjoying life, enjoying being free from this world.

This book, again - just an amazing, amazing read!

God says " As you grow in relationship with me what you do will simply reflect who you really are."

If you truly grow with God and you accept his undying love for you, you can truly be who he created you to be. Your life will be so full and so complete and just an undying happiness that nothing can tear you down - for you have accepted God's love. But that is a lot easier said than done. It is easy to let this world get us down, it is easy to forget that you are loved no matter what happens and there is always forgiveness. We all need to strive to accept this love, this undying love and just be who we were meant to be.

Miss and love you dad!

Much love to all,
