Heaven....but Now?

Do you want to go to Heaven?…   

Hi … 

I thought a little humor might brighten our day.

Kenny Chesney wrote a song once that goes like this,  "Everybody wanna go to Heaven but nobody wanna go now." That says alot. I'm hoping everybody wants to go to Heaven , but now?  

My Scenario of this is this. 

 "Right now???  Really, right now Lord" ?  "Your really, really giving me the opportunity to go to Heaven right now?"  "You mean I'm done here on earth Lord?"  Wow! that went quick. "You mean it Jesus? You're giving me the chance right at this very moment to  be with you forever in Heaven? " OH MY! Paradise at last!   HALLELUJAH!  Hooray! Yeah Yeah Yeah.  "This is what I've devoted my life for". "Man, I'm the luckiest guy in the world right now ". "Yes sir,  look at me , I'm one of the Chosen ". "It doesn't get any better ". "OK, Alright, we're wasting time,  lets get this show on the road"! "I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready"!

OH, wait, wait, wait. 

Wait one second!  "I think I, ummm,,,,,,,,,there was something I ummm, wanted to do".

"Aaaaaaaa,,,,,,,,,,,, Lord?"

"Aaaaaaaa,,,,,,,,,,,,Do you really, really need me right at this moment" ? " I kinda wanted to try another ALPHA, and, aaaaaaah... I really did want to go to my friends Bible study a few more times, because I know how you wanted me to read over your brochure before entering your Kingdom ". 

"Yeah, I think I should do that "."Oh yeah,  and then there's my Grandson ".

 "You created me to be his very favorite person in the whole wide world , and I really think I should swallow my pride and give him a few mores years of my time , because you taught me that I should sacrifice my needs for others and what an opportunity to show you Lord ". 

"Oh, and I'm pretty sure he would want me to stick around to see him graduate from college. I really didn't to wait that long Jesus, but after all, graduating from college is a big deal and I know you would want me there for him". "Aaaaaaa, did I mention he's probably going to be a doctor ?"  "I'm not sure how many years that will take, but for You I know it will seem like seconds ". "Then I'll be ready Dear Lord , then I'll be ready ".

 " You know something God?, I was just thinking, I might as well hang around till he gets married if I'm sticking around this long , don't you think? "  "I know it'll be tough once again, but there are no boundaries for the extent of sacrifices a grandpa will go through for his grandson ".

 I'm so proud of myself. What a good man I am. 

"ALRIGHT ! FINALLY!  I'm ready to go to Heaven God, and I'm sure this time ".

"But, aaaaaaaaaa,  ya wanna know something

 Jesus ? I forgot about the Great Grand Children!!! "

Man, that Kenny Chesney sure does know what he's talking about. 

God bless you ……

I love you Jesus, my Lord and Savior.
