Time- Past, Present,Future: Today is the Tomorrow we worried about Yesterday.

One thing that is so difficult for me is referring to Alexis in the past tense, there are times I struggle with how I say things : I have three kids or I had three kids but now I have two, I have a brother and sister or I had a brother and sister. I just stumble and always have but it is a lot more emotional where Alexis is concerned. There is such a heaviness right now because Sammy just turned 20 and he and Alexis would have both been 20 for 17 days then she would have  turned  21 :  but now she will always be 20, forever young. There is no present or future for her on this earth.  The rest of us will grow older. Not sure why this bothers me so because it didn’t after the rest of my family passed away. Although I did think of  the concept of time  where my mother was concerned especially  when I had spent more time on this earth without my mother than with her.  So with that being said  I believe one thing I will love about Heaven is that there will be no tenses ( past , present , future ) anymore especially past (at least I think so ). I don't think there will be Today, Tomorrow, or Yesterday.  The Lord does not count time as we do. He is above and outside of the sphere of time. God sees all of eternity’s past and eternity’s future. The time that passes on earth is of no consequence from God’s timeless perspective. A second is no different from an eon; a billion years pass like seconds to the eternal God. Because of our finite minds, we can only grasp the concept of God’s timeless in part. And in so doing, we describe Him as a God without a beginning or end, eternal, infinite, everlasting, etc. Psalm 90:2 declares, “From everlasting to everlasting You are God”. He always was and always will be.

2 Peter 3:8

8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and ta thousand years as one day.

Psalm 90:

4  For a thousand years in your sight are but as  yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

It is comforting to know that in Heaven my relationships with my family will not be affected by our earthly relationship with time. When we are all reunited it will seem like only a blink of an eye has passed and there will be no  past tense because we will be together with all our loved ones again : ))) The Bible tells me so J

1 Thessalonians

15-18 And then this: We can tell you with complete confidence—we have the Master’s word on it—that when the Master comes again to get us, those of us who are still alive will not get a jump on the dead and leave them behind. In actual fact, they’ll be ahead of us. The Master himself will give the command. Archangel thunder! God’s trumpet blast! He’ll come down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise—they’ll go first. Then the rest of us who are still alive at the time will be caught up with them into the clouds to meet the Master. Oh, we’ll be walking on air! And then there will be one huge family reunion with the Master. So reassure one another with these words.
