Last weekend, Pastor Bob was talking about what he thinks Heaven will be like. One of the things that he mentioned is that in the bible, it says that we will all have new bodies. Pastor Bob is looking forward to that day because he can play basketball again and not do “sissy” things like elipticals.
I was thinking about that statement recently. It’s funny that he said that, especially after volleyball last night. In our second set of games, while we won all of them to give us a 6-0 record, I was feeling my age and lack of athleticism more than any other time I can remember. I felt like I was sluggish and not nearly as agile as I once was. Even the difference from last year was noticeable to me. I must concede though that it might be partly to do with the change over from using Hockey muscles to using Volleyball muscles too, but still…
Even though I am 20 years younger than Pastor Bob, I am starting to share his anticipation for our new bodies in Christ!
I can anticipate having a new body in Christ too. It will be good to have a new body.
Amen! I just hope I don’t look down to realize that I’m still fat 🙂
that’s just because you didn’t have the healing energy of me there!
