Reflection for April 22, 2017

"They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”(Acts 1:11)

I'm pretty sure that all of us at one time or another have been caught staring off into space.  Perhaps being told that our heads are in the clouds.  And I know that if we'd witnessed what the disciples witnessed we'd spend time staring as well.

Why do we spend time looking toward heaven? Part of it is because we are in awe of what we may have seen.  Another part is to detach from our surroundings for a moment and try to think of something else.

I can certainly appreciate that need in both ways.  But eventually you got to come back to reality and get on with life.

Blessings,
Ed
