DECEMBER 20 "HEAVEN, A FOREIGN PLACE?"
An unknown author once said, "As a boy, I
thought of heaven as a city with domes, spires, and beautiful streets,
inhabited by angels. By and by my little brother died, and I thought of heaven
much as before, but with one inhabitant that I knew. Then another died, and then
some of my acquaintances, so in time I began to think of heaven as containing
several people that I knew. But it was not until one of my own little children
died that I began to think I had treasure in heaven myself. Afterward another
went, and yet another. By that time I had so many acquaintances and children in
heaven that I no more thought of it as a city merely with streets of gold but
as a place full of inhabitants. Now there are so many loved ones there I
sometimes think I know more people in heaven than I do on earth."
