Christa Swartz says it’s time to prepare our households for the days ahead here on earth, and as well, our souls for the rest of eternity! It might sound ethereal, but it’s very real.  We can all agree that our bodies will eventually die, but our souls will be just as alive as ever after that moment.  So how do we prepare for that? …that starting point for the rest of eternity?  Right here today, wherever you find yourself, do whatever it takes to get an understanding of God. Get to know and love Him, and He who has always known and loved you will start a real relationship with you, with me…each one of us, individually. That means each of us gets to be adopted into a family like none we might have known before.  YOU have a Father who adores you and wants to have a real relationship with you, past mistakes and current craziness included, with all your most embarrassing parts. He loves you and has more in store for you than you could ever imagine. We look back to learn from the patterns we have seen repeated throughout history, (and pick up a great deal of the basic self sufficiency skills along the way).  And we look forward and prepare for all the days ahead both here on earth, and after everything we know here passes away too!
