Earning Our Wings To Fly

Earning our wings to fly

Earning our wings to fly

To give us the opportunity
to get into Heaven
isn’t going to be that easy
for us to 
acquire a brand new body 

But if we are capable 
of  getting beyond our 
possessions and all the 
treasures and the pleasures 
of the earth that do not satisfy
then we will be able to join 
Jesus
at the banquet table some day

But we must learn how to embrace 
true peace and 
tranquility with humility and grace
while we are still in our earthly  bodies
so that we can get into Heaven some day
and ultimately 
earn our own wings to fly for an eternity
