REminds me too of an old hymn... Mansion over the hilltop. *I'm satisfied with just a cottage below a little silver and a little gold *

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
So what new ability would you want in heaven? Mine would be flight.

"Irishness is not primary a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition on being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it."-Conor Cruise O'Brien
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king..."
First, I wholeheartedly agree with Caolina Scotsmans view about heaven. Secondly, if I had to visualize it as a physical place, I have only one answer and it is an answer I would have given for many years and will continue to do so:
I would want heaven, to be what each of us wants it to be. For me I want the physical things, I Want to see my Mother again I want to see my Dad and my Grandparents. And meet the two brothers I don't know because they died just days after being born. I dream of the day that I can just give my Mother, a hug and a gentle kiss on the cheek. And it would be nice if looks like Ireland and Scotland, ya that would be a plus for me.

"If a man has found nothing he's willing to die for, he is not ready to live"
DISCIPLINE MUST BE A HABIT SO INGRAINED THAT IT IS STRONGER THAN THE EXCITEMENT OF BATTLE OR THE FEAR OF DEATH. General George S. Patton
Laws that forbid the carrying of firearms, disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assulted, and better for the assailants. They serve rather to encourge, than to prevent homicides. For an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
I believe that heaven would probably look different to each of us in order to be appealing; for me, it'd probably look like US Cellular Field, home of the White Sox.
I agree, not the white sox field...lol , but that it will be different for everyone
Heaven is a beautiful and wonderous place. It is all the great and beautiful places on earth. There are mountains and rolling meadows. There are mighty trees and flowers and plants of every kind. The animals and all living things go to Heaven when they die on earth. There is family and great love. The are mighty seas with sailing ships. There is music of all kind. When Jean-Thomas went Home he took his little keyboard with him and he plays with the great musicians. All that is good on earth can be found in Heaven. The rainbow path leads to Heaven and is also the hem of Heavenly Father's robes. The stars are the campfires of Heaven and where the sun shines down in beams are the windows of Heaven opened. There is no hurt in Heaven. Jean-Thomas is hard at work in Heaven but he also watches over his family on earth. Time is not the same in Heaven as it is on earth. There are great fields of flowers and heather in Heaven. Jean-Thomas runs and plays with the other children and the animals in Heaven. He promised me that when I go Home he will take me to see Jesus and then we will run hand in Hand across the fields of Heaven together and I will know the joy of no hurt and truly be free. Many a day, I have wanted so to go Home and be with Jean-Thomas but I still have a work here yet to finish. RebeccaAnn
