As I drive across the Hill Country of Texas I am glorying in the anticipation that someday I will be in eternity and all of this beauty and prosperity will be small potatoes. I look into the future and I see a glory that I cannot comprehend. OK. The thought comes to me, though that there are some people who are in poverty, struggling, in danger, facing all kinds of family issues, and they look forward to eternity also. I’m wondering if the anticipation they have is even greater than mine. You see, I have to work at trying to think how things could be better. To be honest, that’s not that hard, but I think that people that are really struggling must find it easier to look ahead and think that things are really going to be better.
That doesn’t go to say that people in that situation wouldn’t love to switch places with me, but it’s just a thought of how we have so much to anticipate and it meets all of our needs.
