Heaven is...

The S:VOX workshop at Greenbelt 2007 collected quotations about heaven in the ordinary - what is heaven to you?

Here are some of the suggestions - please add your own.

Heaven is...

When I see the butterflies in the garden I feel myself smile at the beauty of creation, and this gives me hope in my future life.

When I laugh or smile I try to remind myself that I'm healing and that life can get very much better.

Rainbows against dark storm clouds are for me signals that the storm will pass and God's love is out there, and around us all, however much we've been hurt.

Cycling in the New Forest (When it is not raining!)

Visiting beautiful & interesting places.

Reading a book.

Remembering the dark is actually the shadow of Gods wings protecting you

Standing on a hill top, looking over creation in awe of its beauty and thinking - He created me too!

Feeling close to God at the sea.. listening to the waves... hearing God whisper

Sea sounding its sonorous beat on the sand, corncrakes rasping their love songs on the machar and the firm touch of my husband's hand as he holds me through the tears.
