I don't know exactly what heaven will be like, but I have a pretty good idea. Our joyful times on Earth can be replicated and expanded upon in heaven. Today I met a dear friend who I had not seen for many years. She is now on temporary assignment at the Washington, DC, temple. We had a lovely visit at her apartment, and then we rejoiced to serve in the temple together. I happily thought that that scene will play out again and again, to be in the House of the Lord with those we love.
My other piece of joy, which I also believe will be a part of heaven, was tasting my first ripe tomato of the summer. I wait all year for that. Thanks to Gail's bounteous garden, I didn't have to wait for mine to ripen. There must be ripe tomatoes in heaven, but there is also joy on earth, and we can have that today.
