Hello ,
Breath-taking
would be an understatement! As my wife and I stood among the other visitors in King Ludwig II's bedroom there was a collective silence that was palpable. We were visiting the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria during our trip to Germany a few years ago, and I wasn't quite prepared for what I was viewing. The workmanship was magnificent!
Here's a photo of King Ludwig's bedroom.
If I remember correctly, we were told that the bed alone took 14 full-time
wood-carvers 4 years to complete. And that was just the bed! In its Neo-gothic style, with a silver-plated swan fountain atop an unusual washstand, this bedroom was more than a little impressive!
Then it hit me; we Christians have something promised to us that is even more impressive than anything that man could conceive of.
We have a place being prepared for us in heaven.
Jesus promised this place long ago, and I look forward to seeing it for the very first time. There have been times in my life when I have gotten so caught up in the things of this world, that I took my eyes off the plans that God has for me. I'm thankful that He's a patient and loving Heavenly Father. It would be a shame if any one of us missed heaven for something
temporary.
Reminds me of a bumper sticker that I saw years ago that said, "Heaven - Don't miss it for the world!"
Have a great day and God bless!
