Preparing



The Kingdom of heaven somehow creates different images in my mind depending upon my mood. Sometimes it is purely high tech, gleaming, shiny cinematic science fiction science fantasy place of extreme cleanliness and order. Other times it is lush and tropical. Other times it is a majestic place of great statues, great temples, and people wearing robes.

The abundance of images is a product of a fertile imagination.

Blessed the poor in spirit creates an equal number of images, equal number of opportunities to praise and serve the Lord.

As Christians we are asked to trust in goodness, holiness, kindness.

Preparing our spirit is important, preparing our spirit to love, honor, and serve God is important.

As Christians we seek to be like the blessed poor in spirit. We seek God’s mercy, God’s compassion, God’s love.

We seek salvation, we seek eternal life.

We prepare. We pray.
