I had a conversation with Miguel and Charlene on our way to Metrotown. I can’t remember how the conversation started but I end up saying I don’t know how our bodies will look like when it is reunited with us in heaven. Miguel shared to us that it will be a glorified body as how Jesus Christ foreshadowed it during the Transfiguration. That conversation happened last March 5, 2014, Wednesday, not just an ordinary Wednesday but Ash Wednesday.
I have been looking forward to this day and feel so much excitement approaching to it. Not just because we are reminded again of the great love of Jesus in the coming easter but March 5 is also my second birthday. My accident happened in March 5, 2005. I was unconscious for 18 hours then I was airlifted to the hospital, had an 8-hour reconstructive surgery and another surgery 2 years after. This brought me to a reflection that Him giving my life again is Him giving me a foretaste how it is to be given life, reconstructed with a deeper faith – a glimpse of that glorified body.
It was extra meaningful because everything was about Him loving me so much. It was a double celebration. I felt that day was a day for me. The feeling was like He had given me a special favor, it’s as if I am the only one that He loves me the most. He loves me in ways that (I did not know) I want to be loved… and this is non-stop. 🙂
“Lord you are the source of life, You gave me life, You are life! Teach me to live my life for you too.”
