There are five people you meet in heaven, " the Blue Man suddenly said. "Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on Earth."Eddie looked confused." People think of heaven as a paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains. But scenery without solace is meaningless." This is the greatest gift God can give you: To understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for. .Mitch Albom
About This Quote
Sometimes, even the most powerful things in our lives are not all that they seem. Instead, they are complex and sometimes confusing. This is because they are driven by something much more important than the average person can see. "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" is a short story by Mitch Albom, who also wrote one of my favorite books, Tuesdays with Morrie. This book explores the meaning of life and teaches us that there is far more to life than what we might otherwise assume to be important.
