The Sounds of Heaven

Good morning and happy Tuesday. I love hearing the wind chimes on the patio and the clock on the wall tick. I was wondering why that is and I remember when I was a kid I would listen to a watch tick which I was trying to go to sleep. Some of you may be too young to know that a watch used to tick and had to be wound. But I know why I like those sounds; it's comforting, it's soothing and if I close my eyes for a minute I can be far off in a hurry. It reminds me of a time when I was younger and innocent, more so than now. It's peaceful. That's what God offers us through a relationship with Jesus. Peace beyond understanding. Comfort when it shouldn't be. Chaos is where we've made life normal. God offers respite from that. To take us out if the world and into a peaceful place. Only He can do that. We try and fill that void in us with all kinds of crap and even with what seems to be good stuff but it never works because it's not of God. I can't wait to hear the peaceful song of the angels singing and praising the Lord one day. And then to join them. The peacefulness then will be unexplainable. But in the mean time, a small part of that is offered to us now. But the clock is ticking and the winds of time are blowing by. Find peace and comfort and joy in the sounds of Heaven that are all around us. In love always. <><
