Are you celebrating? The melting snow has uncovered green grass, and the time change is extending daylight into the evening. And it will only get better—spring will officially arrive on March 20. When we were blanketed with snow in bone-chilling temperatures, we eagerly anticipated the blessings of spring, and we see them increasing day by day. Let’s talk about the forever spring of eternity and return to our musings about the joys ahead.

I love thinking about what will not be in Heaven, such as sickness. Can you imagine never having a headache, toothache, or body ache? Our knees won’t buckle, our backs won’t spasm, our bones won’t break. There will be no tumors, no abscesses, no mysterious anomalies. We won’t cough, sneeze, or blow our noses. We won’t suffer from indigestion, worry about heart palpitations, or experience chronic fatigue. Our memories will be sharp, never forgetting thoughts or searching for words. We will have no medication, no surgery, no tooth extractions. We will not need glasses, hearing aids, or joint braces. We won’t run out of breath, run out of energy, run out of time. Mountain climbing, galaxy surfing, and deep-sea swimming will not tax us. We will breathe deeply, and our senses will be sharp, allowing us to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel acutely. Selah. These thoughts are too wonderful!

Consider what will be “no more” in heaven, and we’ll continue our ponderings next Thursday. For today, savor this:

God Himself will be with us and be our God. 
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. 
There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, 
for the old order of things has passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
