It's only temporary

From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad
night at an inconvenient hotel.

-- Teresa of Avila

This quote was delivered to me last week while I was learning about a few "bad" nights in an "inconvenient hotel." I vacationed in a real-life fishing cabin and learned that even I have a level of decor that I'm comfortable with. Everything was fine but it took a little adjusting to, particularly the kitchen. I rather imagine heaven itself to be more like the lake view from the deck while this life will look more like this stove...a little dirty, a little rusty, tired, worn out and in need of some serious overhaul.
