high view of heaven

I believe that a high view of Heaven leads to a high view of life.  The interesting thing is that we don't actually see Heaven, but we can reflect on the continual presence of God and consider that all of life on the planet is in the context of a greater kingdom.  There is something about considering and reflecting on the greater kingdom that helps raise our view of life's purpose in the here and now.  And we understand that there may be more value in asking the big questions than in having all the answers.  Have you ever experienced a big event for the first time, like a major league baseball game or a 3-ring circus, and found yourself amazed that the reality of the experience was different than you had imagined!  I think it is a good exercise to contemplate Heaven as an amazing experience in a place we've not yet been.  One day we will go through heaven's gate, if we have placed our trust in the work of Jesus on the Cross, and I have a sense that we will be amazed at the reality.  I wonder...what is your view of Heaven?
 
Deuteronomy 10:14 Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the LORD your God, also the earth with all that is in it.
