What will “heaven” be like?
I confess that in my present state I have a hard time conceiving singing hallelujahs for millions of years. This morning as I was going over my blessings I wondered if not being thankful was a sin. If it is then I am sure to be a great sinner, so I confessed that lack.
Which brings me to what people call “heaven”. In eternity we will have glorified bodies. I am assuming that one of the benefits of a glorified body is a mind freed from the scars and limitations of sin. With that in mind I will probably become aware of the blessings I have missed and I will be overcome with a thankfulness that could go on for a long time. Picture a time when you received a gift that was totally wanted and totally unexpected. Try to remember the immense joy and gratification you felt. Multiply and multiply again.
I look forward to knowing what real thankfulness is like. I will be so caught up in the glory of the blessing that I will forget to check my phone to see what time it is.

Yes, I suspect even old curmudgeons like me won't have any complaints. ;-)
