Have you ever visited a place here on earth that seemed almost heavenly?
The other day, I was having a kind of stressful morning and needed to clear my head. Right away, one spot came to mind. The new World Trade Center transportation hub, just steps from the Guideposts office.
If you haven’t yet seen it, the bird-like exterior of the hub definitely stands out from the skyscrapers in lower Manhattan. (In fact, not everyone is quite so enthusiastic about the unusual design!)
Inside the hub, though, the atmosphere is serene, a bit otherworldly. The first time I walked through its white marble halls I thought, “This must be what Heaven looks like!”
In the midst of a stressful day, a little bit of Heaven was exactly what I needed. So I headed for the winged entrance. The moment I stepped inside, I felt better.
There’s just something about train stations. The chaos, the chance encounters, journeys coming to an end and just beginning. All of it makes me feel at peace.
I guess God can speak to you in any number of places–even in the middle of a transportation hub!
What about you? What building or place gives you “heavenly vibes”?
