Is it because?

Have you ever felt like nothing here can satisfy you? Do you ever look around and see beautiful things and yet they seem empty? Have you ever felt restless inside like your in a train station just passing through? Boy I have and often do...Is it because we are "just passing through?" Is it because we are not meant for this earth but something beyond? I think so. Once you focus on Heaven there is nothing as beautiful here as there. All beauty here is still beautiful but it dulls in comparison with what awaits. Its like being a stranger in a foreign place, your not home. It might be lovely but its not home. That is how I feel right now, its hard. Your bound to this earth and yet your not of this earth. You must "do your time" before you can return home. On the other side of this I am thankful for the time here, if I wasn't here wouldn't have a chance at enjoying heaven. You can't go there if you don't exist here first! And there are some beautiful moments that happen here a foretaste of the hereafter...The smile of a child, the beauty of a sunset, the glory of the ocean, the song of bird first thing in the morning...All but a foretaste of good things to come. So I am thankful for each day, for the good and the bad as it may be...Its the small blessings that I enjoy the most, the love of my child, the wag of my dogs tail...The cardinal and mate that come each day at dawn and dusk to feed, the bloom of the hostia's white flowers, the way the wind blows through the leaves so high in the trees...These are the small things that ease my journey here. These things are a foretaste of what will be. So when your feeling lost or just blah that there isn't much beauty here remember it is there, look for it and remember its because your not meant for here but there!
