I feel as though I am a joyful person––and I may be a bit overzealous at times. I love life and I like to laugh or shall I say giggle? So yep, I mostly am a positive person. There are times, though, where the things of this life strike me and I feel as though I have one foot in this world and the other is trying to plant itself in heaven. I cannot help but to look forward to the day. Not that I don’t love my life. I pray I have many more years here on earth. I pray my loved ones do as well.  I don’t know, I guess I think of the pain in this world, the pain I see in people’s eyes, and the pain of missing my ‘people’ that have passed away.

The thought of heaven overwhelms me with joy and peace…and I want to fall to my knees. That is how I get through life. I know what is to come. I cannot imagine going through life without this hope.
