I read this article about obsessing over Heaven. What an interesting way to point things out. I will copy the link to the article so you can read as well. But I must share this is my favorite part of the whole article.
As my professor said, heaven isn’t our final destination—it’s the first stop on the way to a renewed heaven and earth. And Mike Wittmer agrees, “As great as it is to be a disembodied soul in heaven with Jesus, there’s something even better: enjoying Jesus as a whole person on earth, where resurrected bodies are meant to live. So praise God that those who die in Christ go to heaven. And praise God even more that they’re on the first leg of a round-trip journey.”

The parts I underlined and put in bold are my favorite. This is so true and I for one cannot wait until I can walk with Jesus. Some people get so caught up in the moment that they forget the little things. If I make this place enjoyable to live right now, I can only imagine how wonderful it will be at that final stop of the journey.
Have a blessed day
