A Month of Thanksgiving

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” (Revelation 21:4).

It’s my final day of A Month of Thanksgiving posts. I can’t believe I didn’t miss a day!

I am so grateful that heaven awaits for those saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. In heaven we will be with our Lord and all our brothers and sisters in Christ. There are so many joys there that we cannot even imagine.

There are a lot of things that will not exist any more. I will list some things that directly relate to single mothers, of which I have experienced much.


  • No more single mothers, overwhelmed and trying to make it on their own
  • No more divorce
  • No more divorced people being judged and misunderstood by others
  • No more children abandoned by fathers
  • No more poverty
  • No more sickness or disease
  • No more problems with no solutions
  • No more dying
  • No more disappointment and/or depression
  • No more loneliness
  • No more tears
  • No more goodbyes.

    Perhaps one reason God allows us all our struggles is to make us long for home more. “Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for.”

    Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ~Psalms 19:14
