Truer words were never spoken! ...though we die, we shall yet live! We have entered into His glorious light, in which we stand, walking ever closer to the Lord of the Wedding Feast, robed in the beautiful wedding garments He purchased for us, washed in the blood of the Lamb!
Never thought of it like this. As one who is older, makes sense of how to think of those things in life not meant to happen here. But as you so love to say, the best is yet to come.
A thousand sacred sweets….Yes, knowing our future changes today. We are on our way to a wedding. We prepare quite differently for a wedding than a funeral.

It’s a helpful metaphor, isn’t it?
Thanks, Peg, for reading and responding.
Blessings on your day.
I love your thought, "the anteroom of heaven." A really great metaphor for our remaining days.
There is an old hymn that talks of our ability to being to taste heaven even here on earth. It's words have always moved me:
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
BEFORE we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
Just knowing our future changes us today.
That phrase felt Holy Spirit inspired.

Blessings on your day, Sam. Thanks.
And even being "on the way to a wedding feast" means we've already begun celebrating. The feast begins before the first bite.
Yes, isn’t it wonderful?
