What will heaven be like?

We have things we can do in heaven. Whatever our favorite things were on earth, we will still be able to do in heaven. One day I was wondering what my sister's mansion looked like and what she did in heaven.

Immediately, I saw this huge glass greenhouse. It was probably as big as the greenhouse in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. We both had greenhouses here on earth. It's a family trait, we enjoy growing plants. I didn't get to see inside, but I could see green leaves through the glass. I bet it's beautiful inside and provides her a lot of joy.

She had other hobbies on earth. She made leaded glass things, lovely wood things with a scroll saw and bird houses. She painted the wood things and flower pots with beautiful designs. She said to me, "We can make things". That sounds like fun. Whatever we liked to do on earth, we can still do it in heaven, only much better.

One time I saw a little girl with long dark hair standing by my sister.  The little girl excitedly ran to me and hugged me around my legs. She said, "I love you Aunt Carol".

I was overwhelmed!

The family gone before is waiting for us in heaven.

Is heaven boring?

What can we do in heaven? There’s lots of fun stuff to do in heaven. There are adventures, like riding down a waterfall. I went riding down a giant, high waterfall.

At the bottom, my big sister was standing there beside a beautiful pool of water. (She had left for heaven a few years ago.) She said, "Let’s go diving in the water. We can swim underwater without breathing air".

We went underwater and saw gorgeous, beautiful fish swimming around. And nobody was afraid of us. We could swim right up next to the fish. The animals in heaven are all friendly. It is amazing!

Look at all the beautiful fish!

We swam around looking at all the beautiful fish. Down at the bottom I saw a huge clam. His mouth was open and he had a giant pearl in his mouth. It was amazing how big it was!

I took the pearl and swam back to the surface with it. The pearl was beautiful and so big, about the size of a basketball.

I put the giant pearl back into the clam. He said, "Thank you." Respect and consideration are part of building Christian character.

Is there family in heaven? Yes, and sometimes we will see family members we have not met before. I wonder what it will be like to meet my great, grandparents and their parents. There's lots to do in heaven and so many adventures in store for us.
