Very nicely done. Lived in Colorado+ years. I have probably been in this town before.

Hi Bill, Your first picture looks similar to my wife and I - she went ahead of me ten years ago. Now she is waiting for me to join her - as in picture two.
Sorry to hear about your loss, and I know you are looking forward to being with her once more; never to be separated again. We will be young for evermore! God Bless!

I was thinking about an old song this morning. "How Wonderful Heaven Must Be". Some pictures came to mind. The First one represents my wife and I now, and the second one represents what we will be like there.

I wanted one of these when I was a teenager, but never got one. I still like the looks of them.

Wonderful story. God loves us and nothing too small or too great for him to take care of. Scripture says he is touched by our infirmaries. He cares for us. God Bless!

I've always wondered about this verse and then then when he was on the cross and he told the theif that today you will be with me in Paradise and here it talks about the dead in Christ being caught up first, so which is it? and i'm going to bed don't wait for me
I put this together very quickly, but I hope that it will shed some light on your question, if I understood your question correctly. You will have some scripture to read. It is better that you read it for yourself. I hope this helps. God Bless!
According to scripture, from the beginning, Paradise and Hell were beneath the earth, but were divided by a great gulf. Paradise is also known as Abraham’s bosoms. (Luke 16:21-Luke 16:23) Up until the time of Jesus when the Righteous died they went to Abraham’s bosom, or Paradise, and the unrighteous went to hell. It is necessary at this time to understand that we are spirit and body beings. When we die our spirits leave this earthly shell we call a body. When Jesus died and was resurrected from the dead, all of the righteous that were in Paradise came out (Matthew 27:51-53) and their spirits were joined with their glorified bodies, and went to heaven with Jesus when he ascended to heaven. From that time until now the spirits of the righteous are in heaven with Christ, but they are spirit. When the Rapture occurs, the graves of the righteous will be open and our bodies will be changed and will be like the body of Jesus ( 1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
According to scripture, this will all happen in the twinkling of an eye. (1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.)
