he weather can change very quickly in October. One day might be 85 degrees and humid, and the
next day a pretty nasty storm usually escorts in that first cold front of Fall, followed by 50 degree temperatures and a soaking, all-day rain; no more really warm weather until next June. Yet, there will still be those almost perfect
days in October when the skies are crystal clear blue, the temperatures are in the low 70’s, and the wind is mild out of the
south. Those are the kind of days that are almost heavenly, almost perfect in every way. I love those kind of “bluebird”
days, and I hope the days in heaven are similar. Come to think of it, I hope a lot of things about heaven. First of all, I hope I
eventually make it into heaven. Thanks to Jesus, I think I will. I hope to see my mom and dad and baby sister Ann in heaven,
along with my wife Nancy and all of my grandparents, relatives and friends. And even though I hope to make it to heaven
before my kids and grandkids, I hope to see all of them someday in heaven also. I hope to see my dogs Chip, Snoopy, Brandy, Mandy, Coco, Sandy, Chelsea, Jojo, and Iris in heaven, and my cats Lucky, Samantha, and Cali too. I hope that we are all
together to enjoy those 70 degree bluebird days of October. Sounds like a lot to hope for? Not really, because, as it is in
the end, just as it was in the beginning, God controls it all, and God loved me enough to open heaven for me through His
Son Jesus, and God knows what makes me happy. What do you hope for? God loves you too, and He wants you to be happy for all eternity. Just believe in Him with all your heart and soul, and live your life as the loving person He wants you to be,
that He expects you to be. Then, put your hope in Him, and you too will enjoy your own bluebird days in heaven.
