A few months ago, the kiddos and I were talking about the Disney movie, ๐๐๐๐. We discussed how we all really do have soul, and when our time on Earth is done, our soul will go to heaven to be with Jesus. (Little did I know how much this discussion would help a couple months down the road when their aunt passed away.)
I explained, “When we die, our earthly body will stay here with the Earth. It’s just temporary. It’s not really ours forever.” Skye said, “It’s like a rental car.” I laughed and said, “Yeah actually!” ๐
His comment got me thinking. Anytime I’ve driven a rental car, there are always things that just seem… off.I can’t quite get the seat the way I like. I have to check to see which side the gas tank is on. I struggle to get used to the windshield wipers and lights. My favorite radio stations aren’t programmed. I find myself missing the comfort of my own car.
That’s how our bodies and minds are on Earth. Something is just… off. Something feels missing. My body wasn’t meant to hold all of this pain. But this place is ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต our home! One day, I will trade this body for a pain-free upgrade in โ๐ผ๐ธ๐๐ผโ! ๐๐ฝ I will be in the comfort of my own home and forever body.
