Heaven Has No Address

Many people wonder how their life will end and if there's anything beyond this life, other than a dark and empty void that many perceive. We as a society concern ourselves with ideas of becoming debilitated or unaware of our surroundings or being alone when we make our final journey. None of this seems as important to me as it once did. What if we knew without an iota of doubt, that there is eternal life for all of us? What would our perception of life be; would it change? I guarantee you, you would perceive things differently. Although I know there is truly an eternal life, I have to credit my former patients for confirming an after-life in heaven, as they told me of their experiences before their journey and after arriving in heaven. I was blessed to have been a part of these magnificent events. Why some people have these experiences and others not remains a mystery. Could it be because their faith in God was so strong and undeniable? Or was it because they had to be shown a glimpse of heaven to alleviate their fear of dying? I only hope I will be afforded the same spiritual blessings when I take my journey home.
