    Today, during the liturgy of the transfiguration, I was considering how the saints in heaven are eternally praising and worshiping the Lord, and I was hit with the realization that I would not be able to join them for any length of time, that I would get bored and distracted in a matter of minutes. Then I realized that I was thinking about it as if worshiping some bright light with no substance. Like singing towards a bright white wall for all eternity. I realized that if Christ were in front of me, in the way that He was with the apostles during His time on Earth, I could listen to Him talk for hours, days, weeks, years. My love for Christ is severely lacking, but at the very least I do love what He has to say. Now, this same day, I get to hear about this vision of heaven, where it is overflowing with "information" from the Lord, which sounds like the same thing, but undoubtedly better. This gives me a lot of hope for the eternal life. Thank you. And thank you, Saint Iakovos of Evia.

    Thank you, this is very beautiful. I have to tell you that some years ago I had a dream that I was in heaven. The road was dirt the trees made the redwoods look small and the sun was an indescribable feel in my skin. I look to the right at a medium side field on the side if the road and it was filled with beautiful flowers. I thought to myself- I wonder if the flowers will talk to me? I then woke up. As I went through the next day with this question on my heart and headed out to Bible school. Our Pastor was giving the lecture that night which was uncommon and in the middle of the lecture he stopped and said; "you know, in heaven the flowers will be able to talk to us", and went back to the lecture. I know our ABBA listens to us. I so look forward to this day.

    Thank you very much for this video. It really touched my heart. I have read many stories about people who went to Heaven for a while and came back. They all say that, in Heaven, nothing dies and everything has sentience, even the flowers and the grass. What the Earth has for us here is nothing compared to what God has for us in Heaven.

Hl.Propheri in heaven! Wnats no litany...Hl. Iakovos just smiled because it was God's will...Hl. Anthony said yes brothers these days, people need more encouragement of God's unconditional love than petitions for mercy! Even if they abuse it or their freedom, they must not lose faith!

      According to Eldress Macaria from Russia there are also animals in heaven. In the book "Beloved Sufferer" she describes heaven: "The sun there is not like it is here. It's very large. The various flowers bloom; there are heavenly ones and ordinary ones, as on the earth. The grass is green there, beautiful, and all of the paths are even and clean. The gardens are very nice and the apples are sweet. They are very, very red and verily covered with honey. The birds in the trees are both small and large - you think that people are singing, but it is the birds."
