Heaven will be – Heaven is
by Sr. Sheila Devane MMM Ireland 29.05.2024
Like us all I sometimes think of Heaven. What will it be like there, what will God look like, what body will I have, and will I easily recognise everyone else? What will we all be doing?As a child images of angels with outstretched wings praying all the time were in my mind. I knew I had a guardian angel all to myself and it was great not to have to share with my sisters & brother!
Nowadays I tend to think more of what I don’t want in Heaven, and in trying to get into Heaven; can I share some of this with you?
I don’t want to have to register online for any tickets, entrance fees, permits, or parking. Hopefully though I won’t need to think of parking as I am planning to stay …..but I do think of this now! I don’t want to have to create a password with any number of letters, including capitals, low case letters, digits, and rating as either strong, medium, or too weak. I don’t want to have to wait while being told the line is busy with a high volume of callers and could I give my number for a call back. No that is far too risky when Heaven is at stake.
I don’t want to know that they are doing their best under very challenging circumstances, to accommodate all who are a long time waiting for entrance, and so my bed is not assured but they will put me on a waiting list. I am hoping for more than a bed – what’s that about a mansion? I didn’t expect that being busy or talking about being busy could be part of the programme in the celestial heights.
I don’t need to be asked my date of birth once again nor to be questioned about signing the new contact – for what exactly? I would like my name to be pronounced properly as “Devane” instead of “Devine”. The divine can come later on! I would rather not be titled Ms. or Mrs. and asked again for my pronouns: she /he/it/they.
Once there I want to meet lots of people, everyone, from morning to night – if there is morning and night? I’d like my food served to me if I will need food for my amazingly beautiful, lithe body for which I will be asking for some adjustments to the present model.
I wouldn’t mind a few shops – charity ones preferably but maybe that kind won’t be needed there? I want to browse through rows of jewellery stalls with perfume vendors on every corner and great open markets. I want cashless, card less payment transactions.
I will greatly miss my mental health work as everyone will be well – what a blessing. So, it seems I am already here and in Heaven and both at once.
It is good. Very good.
