A most valuable life experience of yours, with much to learn from! Thank you, Maurice!

I've scanned thru the responses to your entry and I find much of value in many of those as well. Some more than others. Thanks to each and all!

As also expressed in Ellen White's book Counsels to Sabbath School Workers, pp. 1-35+, and as emphasized in the Bible by the repeated use of the term "holy convocation" in Lev 23, God has given us His Sabbaths for purposes of meeting together in order to share God's blessings between one another. So also by means of this particular meeting room in the clouds. Again, thank you!

Sometimes we find more value in those shared experiences of another, sometimes less. Indeed, sometimes we tend to reject some of what we then hear. Why? Well, each one of us has a more or less different background and life experience. We are each upon a different point on each our walk with God. We may not be ready and sufficiently prepared for properly perceiving, correctly understand, or effectively implement such blessings as others already enjoy. Thus we often reject such valuable blessings of God as worthless or worse. We are simply blind to them from the point of view where we are standing. Thus rejecting, we glide apart from one another, even to the point of perceiving one another as being a soldier on the side of the enemy. When thus misunderstanding one another we will sooner or later either be excluded or distance each our self from the company.

Yet, the more forgiving we are, and the more we are each willing to reconsider each our present stand and each our foundations re the details of our faith, the more we will find of values to retain from one another's stories, and the more we will value one another, grow together, and love one another.

Love you all, thank you!
