I attended a funeral today, and was left with one thought based on something the good reverend said during his message. He referred to the "absence" we feel when we've lost a loved one.
Isn't it more accurate that we're "absent" from Heaven while we're here? We counsel the bereaved to imagine the deceased as a loved one on an extended journey, hopeful of the promise of a future reunion. But aren't we - the living - the ones who are really on that hypothetical journey?
Just a thought...
