In John 15 I believe, Jesus was talking to his disciples and tells them that he is going to prepare a place for them and that he'll return when he is finished. This is a pretty great promise! Just imagine a world famous builder coming to you and telling you that He was going away but he was going away so that he could prepare a home for you and that when it was finished he would come get you. Would you not look forward to it with great excitement! That's how we should be looking forward to heaven. Jesus has gone to prepare a place us and if it were not so he wouldn't have told us it was. There, there are many mansions!
One more thought, it took God 6 days to create the earth and the heavens with all their splendor and wonder! Everything from the miracle of a caterpillar becoming a beautiful butterfly to the way the stars and sun follow the path that the Lord laid out for them. So taking this into consideration just try and imagine how wonderful heaven is going to be when Jesus has been "preparing a place for us" for over 2 thousand years! It will beyond anything we can even dream of!

Wow Chrissy! Three posts in one week! I'm impressed. :-)
Good thoughts about heaven. I was just thinking about the wedding feast of the Lamb, and about how not only is He preparing for us, but we need to be preparing for His return as well! Can you imagine being surrounded by the splendor of heaven and yet, none of that would compare to hearing the voice of the Lord saying "Well done, good and faithful servant... enter into the joy of your master!"
Isn't it amazing to think of His love and faithfulness? Thanks for the great reminder to spend each moment living for eternity!
