After a week at the Youth Encampment at Southern University, I had a chance to take a full bath, instead of just a shower yesterday. The showers at Southern were very nice but nothing takes the place of a good hot bath.
I drew a full tub of water, added fragranted bubble bath. The temperature of the water was hot enough to boil a cob of corn I suspect; but I like hot baths.
With bubbles everywhere, I sat in the tub. It was relaxing.
I wonder if there will be bubble baths in heaven? I guess not; especially since we won't get dirty or smelly or tired.
I'll miss the bubble baths when I get there, but I'm sure I'll get over it..quickly.
Before I knew it I dozed off to sleep..in the tub. I dreamed about bubble baths in heaven. I was running around on clouds, wrapped in a towell, blowing bubbles! I passed Moses and Elijah and blew bubbles at them. I shook hands with Martin Luther King, and said hello to Mary McCleod Bethune and Marian Anderson. I blew bubbles as I raced past all of them, floating like an astronaut in space from one cloud to the next.
Floating!
Blowing bubbles!
Then the phone rang!
When I woke up, the bubbles were gone. The water was luke warm and the bubbly dream was gone too.
I don't know what heaven will be like, but one thing is for certain, once the dream of eternity begins we won't wake up to find that the bubble are gone!
