heaven and hell

I stumbled upon this illustration of heaven and hell.

A man visited both heaven and hell. In hell, everybody was strapped to seats at a table and everybody only had one arm, and at the end of this long straight arm is a spoon like appendage. In front of the people was laid out a huge feast of food, but everybody was angry and going hungry because they could not feed themselves with that arm.
The man was then brought to heaven. He was shocked that everybody had the same spoon like appendage but everybody was happy and cheerful, feeding each other.

So if you want to experience heaven, you got to first be a person willing to be part of the group and share. There is no guarantee that people will reciprocate but you have to be the first to make the move, feed your neighbour, not only physical food, but soul food: a listening ear, a reassuring hug, a word of encouragement. And spritual food: prayer. In this world we want guarantees. For the stuff we buy, and even our own lives are guaranteed in the form of insurance. But no one can assure you of a wonderful heaven-on-earth future or for that matter, present. Its up to you to work it out.

Give and it will come back to you. Thats the kingdom of God.
