Heaven is a party

I have thought of this many times and posted about it as well.  

Heaven is not going to be a drab church service.  It is not going to be about who made it in and who did not.  There will be no more fear and no more tears.

Heaven will be a banquet, a party.  Jesus tells stories about parties in reference to heaven 15 times.  Only once is heaven a courtroom scene [Mt. 25]  Richard Rohr expands on this idea is his blog of 8/31

Friends, there is no reason to fear death.  There is no reason to fear standing in front of God.  Do you remember the Father in the prodigal son story?  He rushed out to meet his son and threw a party.

Heaven will be a time of joyful reunion.  Your life today should be a time of joyful living.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
