How well I can remember the moments when my mom showed me a picture of her beloved mother. She gently stroked the picture and with tears in her eyes remarked, “One day we’ll see each other again in our wonderful heavenly home. I am so looking forward to that!”

When I received the message that my beloved mother had died, this memory was what immediately came to mind. My mother has also arrived in heaven! Now she can hug her mother.

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

 2 Corinthians 5:1

Mom believed in an eternal home in heaven. That gives me so much comfort and a great joyful anticipation of heaven: I’ll also get to see my mom again!

Whatever you believe in greatly influences your future. Do you know the hope that the Bible speaks of?
