How terrible to see a young child die, a beautiful little girl in piggy tails get knocked down, a handsome ruddy youth not wake up, a middle age mum robbed from her children, a granddad pass on. I was realising the other day, God does not just want old farts in heaven like I will be! God wants a family and although I really don’t understand how it all works, the Bible does indicate we will recognize each other.
So although we would wish everyone lived into the 80’s, I think God would end up having all the silver-haired people playing classical music on their harps, where he actually enjoys Mike letting rip with rock and roll on some of those harps!
I know there are many more questions than answers as to who dies when but its good to know there will be “a family” in heaven.
Mark,
I’ve always thought there will also be lots of “young farts” in heaven, too.
Jesus has a way of cleaning up ALL of our acts, regardless of our age!
