Our Town not like Heaven

Often in a comfortable, safe, prosperous culture we don't spend much time thinking about heaven, longing for a different place. However, recently, I've been reflecting on how Heaven will be different from our town. In Heven there will be no:
- Cemteteries because there will be no death
- Hospitals because there will be no sickness
- Prisons because there will be no crime
- Nursing homes because we will never grow old
- Funeral homes because there will be no need to mourn
- Street lights because we will be in the precesnce of Light
- Housing projects because there will be no poverty
- Fire stations because there will be no emergencies
- Police stations because we will all be safe
- Court houses because there will be no lawsuits or paperwork
- Pharmacies because there will be no pain
- Orphanages because we will all have family and a home
- Church Buildings because we will be worshipping always in the presence of God

(Heb 11:16 NIV) Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

What do you see as you drive down the road that will be missing in Heaven?
