Are we there yet?



On a recent trip with our three grandkids, they were anxious to get to our park destination, and the oldest - echoed by his sister in imitation asked two or three times, "Are we there, yet?"




Obviously, they were anxious to arrive. It made me think about my own question to God- "Are we there yet?-- Meaning to heaven when I get anxious and tired of being 'strapped in my seat'.




The signs around us point to heaven, in the happenings around the world, just as the Bible predicted in Matthew 24. Just as I pointed out to my grandson the signs depicting a park which consoled him temporarily, I need to also remember to look at God's Word often to console me. As a believer, it's exciting to know that we're almost there!
