my sweet mother lived to be 93 years old raised 10 children her and dad did and she was sometimes a professional worrier you can imagine raising five boys five girls staying up late worrying until they all got home the wise man solomon said it is not good it is not good to sit up late and to eat the bread of sorrows for lo he giveth his beloved sleep when he said it's not good to sit up late and eat the bread of sorrows that phrase means it is not good it is no it helps you none to sit up late and worry but when we get there there'll be nothing to worry about there'll be nothing to worry about oh i could i could get real i could get real personal here tonight but i won't do that but i look around here and i see people that have situations that are they are constantly having to be concerned about things that brings worry and trepidation fear to their heart and to their life but if we can get there i said if we can just get there there'll be nothing to worry about there'll be nothing to worry about oh there won't be any flu in heaven there'll be no death in heaven no corona virus in heaven somebody needs to run the aisle on that one no corona virus no flu no poverty no sickness no curse no losses not in heaven no more it's a place of no more no more loneliness it would shock us if we understood how alone some people are even though there would they would be in the midst of a group of people huh carrying loneliness in their mind and their heart struggling with these things putting on that putting on that smile trying to be happy trying to put on the good front down deep in their heart lonely lonely lonely but in heaven there'll be no more loneliness because we will be surrounded we will be surrounded by only those who love us and who are loved by us no

said we're going to be free from all of that being a musician being a singer and a choir director over the years i've directed choirs and camp meetings and conferences and stuff you you know you get a choir off full of 120 150 folks you're trying your best to teach three parts they can't do they can't do unison right and then invariably there was that one person that you'd spend half the afternoon trying to get them on pitch right and i do this little trick right here i said okay if you're flat if you feel like you're flattened you know you're not doing hitting the right on pitch i said imagine there's a string attached to the top of your head and i said just pull that string up and i said that'll pull you up on pitch well somewhere between practice and the and the night service the string broke but heaven's choir will have no flat voices oh you're not helping me i'm about finished i'm not finished here there won't be any flat voices in heaven there won't be any guitars out of tune either i didn't hear nothing out of tune tonight just so you know there'll be no attitude instruments i won't be on that hammond organ that they have up there i'll be able to hit every note perfect i guess one of the one of the chief things that i'm looking forward to being to not being in heaven is this no disappointments no disappointment no disappointments there won't be any disappointments
