I am so
glad I chose to read The Five People You
Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, already! I have not even read 100 pages, and
I have already started to think about so many things pertaining to the books
focus. When the ‘blue man’ starts to review parts of Eddie’s life; it made me
begin to think of my life. I started to ask questions to myself like, “If I were
to review my life in heaven today, would I be embarrassed to how I lived?” I am
a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, even if we do not know
the reason at the time, and the book reassures my notion. The blue man reminds
Eddie that no act in his life was random, even when he accidently creates the
situation that kills him in the automobile accident. But since Eddie was in
heaven, he was sorry but he felt no pain or shame. I am hopeful that heaven is
like the books description thus far because it would be beyond wonderful to
live without these painful emotions throughout this life. I predict Eddie might
possibly meet up with his parents in heaven to learn lessons and maybe some random pedestrians
that passed through the pier.
"I started to ask questions to myself like, “If I were to review my life in heaven today, would I be embarrassed to how I lived?” - I ask myself this all the time. It's so good to know that I am not alone :o) I am glad that you are enjoying the book.
