And I Know
The final scene of 1997’s fantastic movie, Titanic, has been floating through my brain these days.
so much so, I think I might hunker down and watch that classic again, asap. And I’m pretty certain I can declare those last few minutes with Jack and Rose as my all-time favorite, second only to Somewhere In Time.
The reason why I love it so is because this rings delightfully true to my heart and there, right there ! is how I imagine my entrance to Heaven. Minus Leonardo and Kate and the whole ship view, no, mine will be on a mountainside, surrounded by trees and all the beautiful everything-s I adore. And as I make my way up and to, I’ll be greeted by the loves of my life. My mama, my grandmas and grandpas, aunts, uncles and great-greats. Richard, my cousin and Kenny, my childhood friend will be there, Mr. Fred Rogers too. And if Barry Manilow beats me to those pearly gates, he will serenade my welcome. But the most awesome-st moment of all, will be the reunion with my very best, BFF ♥ Jesus ♥
He’s told me to not be afraid.
& those reassuring words comfort me like no other.
I’d never, ever wish to rush mine or anyone else’s time here on Earth and when someone exits this life much too soon by our mortal calculations, it’s deemed tragic, as it should be. My question within though consistently remains, with so much to look forward to, how could I even think about doubting my inevitable future ??
I don’t. I honestly don’t.
With Him and them I will forever be
of that I am confident.
Believe and the rest is easy, He whispers as Titanic’s, My Heart Will Go On, lyrics continue their frolic inside my mind. And once again, I am gently reminded.
And I know.
