Sunset is one of my favorite parts of the day. I can remember one day when my dad and I were staying in a old forest fire watchtower. We were high up, above the mountains and could see the sun setting on the far horizon.
This particular night, the sun was bright red. It was one of the coolest natural images I had ever seen. It was one of those images I’d never soon forget.
Looking at the sunset and thinking about the above image, I realized that this world is just a silhouette, or shadow, of what heaven will be like. Anything good and beautiful in this world is just a tiny foretaste of what eternity with God will be like!
