I think that Resurrection (what ever it exactly means) is so much profounder an idea than mere immortality. I am sure we don’t just “go on.” We really die and are really built up again.

I am sure human consciousness does go on, retaining all that it is and has become. There can be no other reason for our conscious and subconscious memory except that we continue to exist in all aspects of ourselves except the physical aspect.
I am equally sure that it will be an existence far beyond our current state and beyond our current comprehension, but still understandable and experienced as “us”, yet transformed completely, reborn. Even now we shape that existence by our conscious choices and actions day by day.
Let us shape it daily with joy, kindness, hope, charity, peace, forgiveness and love. Then, our Eden below will begin to reflect our Heaven above where we will be in total joy and direct communion with God forever.
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!
Living eternity,
Z gardener
Author’s Urgent Request For Prayer;
A dear friend, fellow gardener and child of God lies critically injured today with grave prospects. Please pray for Pat, for his family and those who love him. Please ask that he recover and finish his time with us here. Thank you. Z.
