Katherine Fh Heart
Bern and I were both private people who loved each other magnetically. My Aquarian-Piscean (air-water) nature and Bern’s quiet Leo (fire) could sometimes erupt in steamy disagreement, but more often coexisted like a warm campfire alongside a gently flowing stream. Our home and life together were blessedly simple and quiet. Neither of us could have children so we adopted a succession of “FurKids.” We had a sweet tradition on Valentine’s Day and other celebrations of saving our cards to each other in a colorful heart-shaped box. In our later years, with the box so full, we often chose to enjoy picking from it randomly or selectively to give again and reminisce.
Bern read devotionals in the morning and evening, so she had one book on the living room sofa table and a different one at her bedside. She read from Jesus Calling in the evening. After she passed, I picked it up thinking to place it in her casket. I opened it to see what would have been her final bedside reading. Let me share with you her last reading because it must have given her great peace and offers hope for all of us.
\"Heaven is both present and future. As you walk along your life path holding my hand, you are already in touch with the essence of heaven: nearness to Me. You can also find many hints of heaven along your pathway because the earth is radiantly alive with My Presence. Shimmering sunshine awakens your heart, gently reminding you of My Brilliant Light. Birds and flowers, trees and skies evoke praises to My holy Name. Keep your eyes and ears fully open as you journey with Me.
At the end of your life-path is an entrance to heaven. Only I know when you will reach that destination, but I am preparing you for it each step of the way. The absolute certainty of your heavenly home gives you Peace and Joy, to help you along your journey. You know that you will reach your home in My perfect timing: not one moment too soon or too late. Let the hope of heaven encourage you, as you walk along the path of Life with Me.\"
