"My floor experience and thoughts about my home in Heaven"

 
So since the beginning of October, I have been trying to redo the bottom downstairs of my husband's house.   And he is on disability from knee surgery, so he cannot physically do anything because he is on a tight watch by his doctor.   Anyways my son had a dream last October that prior to the rapture, the floor would look really nice.   And out of no where my husband was sick of the carpet and so I ripped it out and loaded it on the truck.    But then the carpet glue, the wall paint, spray paint, carpet nails, and drywall was ALL OVER the concrete and had to be scraped off.   I had blisters on my hands scraping.    Then I had to rent a stand up floor buffer with sand papers and since I used water the floor looked like there was a flood of mud, it took like 6 hours to mop up.    Then there was the acid that had to be used, then this really bad smelling epoxy paint.  

Well this project has been difficult to do and I usually am inspired to do something that makes things beautiful.   But I have not really been gung ho on this one and I don't know why.   I guess it is because I feel that it is just busy work before the rapture, to keep me occupied so I continue to watch.    I love to make things look beautiful all the time.   I like to dress nice, keep in shape, always put on makeup and jewelry, have a clean home....and if someone gives me something old I always polish it, paint it and add fake bling to it.   I don't do these things because I am trying to compete with anyone, I think my neighbors think I do.....I just keep hearing these words out of nowhere "behold I make all things new."   For some reason I feel compelled to make things nice.   I am saddened however on this earth that by me making things nice it is always misconstrued by unbelievers and they lust after the things that I have, or me personally.    I always have people walk up to me and say such nice things to me, and as soon as I say anything about Jesus, they turn ugly and run.    Won't it be nice when we are in Heaven and beauty of people and things is not misconstrued with greed and lust?   I think maybe my whole excitement on this project has been somewhat muted because of this.   

Anyways the weird thing about this project is that we had this silly idea to put lots of silver glitter on top of this black epoxy paint before the urethane clear coat was put on.    The glitter sparkles like diamonds and it looks SO COOL, my husband says it looks like the night sky.   But I was standing there and I realized that a picture formed and my husband and I looked at the picture and it looked like an angel.   I mean it looks like an angel so much my unsaved husband could see it.   And he was so excited about it that he was so energized.   I mean his whole demeanor was different and he was smiling.   Usually my husband is very cocky, and cracks wise jokes all the time.  When he is trying to be nice to you, it is in a hateful joking kind of way.   But not last night.    This angel as I was really looking at it has a bow and an arrow and I was shocked because I said, it is Sagittarius!

Sagitarrius is Jesus riding on His white horse!

I think though this was an awesome sign to me of the little prophecy of the floor being done....and that Jesus is coming.   However I am still working on the floor and I think I am going to add some gold and green glitter into the mix with another coat of urethane.   Seems like no one makes metallic epoxy paint for garage floors that is a one part paint system, they want you to mix the metallic into the paint in a two part system and then you have only 30 minutes to paint the whole floor....and I don't want to do that because I am not that fast.   Anyways, it is kind of frustrating so I have to do my own thing.    And I think the glitter is fun for Christmas, if my husband sells the house, then at least the new owners can go buy carpet or put down wood floors.  

But seriously the floor looks like it has diamonds in it.   If man can think of all these neat things to do to their homes, consider what the Lord can do for your home in Heaven!    How I was contemplating this as I worked on the floor and put my best foot forward.   In my fallen state, in my physical state that maybe uses only 10% of my brain capacity I can make something look pretty nice.   But consider the loved ones in Heaven who love you from your family who all came together using all their love, their total capacity, and all the wonderful things of Heaven to build your home?   WOW!     How the earth lusts after what people have and when they steal it, or take it they have no love....it turns to ruins because they do not care for it.   But in Heaven, the love that is there is so overwhelming, so eternal that everything is pristine all the time.   The love going into the homes in Heaven is what I have been contemplating on.    Having beautiful things and being beautiful without love does not seem to hold much weight with me anymore.   I want to go in the rapture and trade these dime store pearls for real ones.
