Many people look forward to heaven; forward to an eternity of bliss, happiness, comfort, and communion w/God and His children.
But doesn’t eternity include the present. Doesn’t the very fact that something is eternal mean that it must currently exist.
So look forward to heaven, but look for heaven now. Look for ways to create a heaven-like atmosphere here on earth. Look for places/times/moments/events in which we can connect w/God and His children.
someone once said this…
The Party is gonna be good, but the Party is good now too.

No over ever said “The Party is gonna be good, but the Party is good now too.” because it doesn’t make sense, even as a metaphor.
