2 Cor.5:8—“We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.”

We probably don’t think about heaven as much as we should. Sometimes we need to be reminded that this life is temporary and that the best is yet to come.

After Glen Wheeler’s wife died several years ago, he often reminisced about the little things he missed. For instance, after supper, as she was clearing the dishes, sometimes she would say, “Keep your fork.”

Glen always smiled when he heard those words because he knew that they were going to have dessert. The best was yet to come!

Heaven will be so much better than what we experience here on earth! In a very real sense, God says to the Christian, “Keep your fork. As wonderful as this life is, the best is yet to come!”
