Another World

This afternoon I am reminded that life is not perfect and that stress always seems to be rearing its ugly head right around the corner. Although, I have made great attempts to lessen my load and to feel completely at peace with life all by myself; I have figured out that this is impossible.

Hannah and I went to her hometown of Belton, TX this weekend for another shower she was having while we were at her house we worked on making invitations for the wedding. On Sunday afternoon her mom, grandma, Hannah and I worked tirelessly to put them together. As, I was sitting there we somehow got on to the topic of the supernatural. Hannah's grandma begin to tell stories about how an angel once helped her in a stressful situation. Then Hannah's mom told a few stories but there was one that really struck me. Hannah's great granddad was in the hospital and was nearly completely gone when Hannah's granddad revived him. As he awoke he said "If I ever get that way again do not revive me because that was the most wonderful place," he saw a glimpse of heaven.

After hearing that story something inside of me melted, I realized there is some place that is more beautiful than my wildest imagination. I have thought about afterlife and death before many times but I think sometimes I forget what it all means. There is another world beyond this one, that even the most breath-taking of landscapes I have seen pale in comparison to what it must be like.

In the midst of the stress of change and realizing the imperfections of it all, these thoughts give me hope. There is more beyond this life and during this life. The times ahead of us look grim and the economy we live in is very unstable but my prayer is that who ever reads this may have peace. Breathe in and out look at the clouds and remember there is more!
