June 5 Ralphine Derryberry How Beautiful Heaven Must Be! Curtis Vandiver, Fay Jordan, Linda Fulghum, Allen Ray Stacey Haislip, Howard Haislip, Shannon Ketchum, Ruth June 6 Shannon Ketchum Generally speaking, the word “heaven” is used in three different ways throughout the Bible. The first heaven Hargrove, Ralph Wilson, Bethany Cole June 8 Frances Bivins almost always refers to the atmospheric heavens, meaning the clouds and where the birds fly (Ps. 8:8; 77:17-18; Talitha Liggett - 62 79:2; 104:12). These are the heavens that we can see, the clouds, the sun, the birds, and everything else that Ongoing Prayer Needs encompasses the “first heaven.” IN HOME SHUT-INS June 4 Grover & Peggy Collins - 51 yrs Theola Blue, Barbara Chunn, Wynona Clark, Betty June 5 Cody & Kaci Fullerton - 2 yrs The second heaven is considered to be the starry heavens.

Again, another heaven in which we can see, one in which we can enjoy visibly. Ruth Hargrove, James Jordan, Mike McCollum, Roslyn June 6 Thomas & Carol Wakefield - 58 yrs Sutherland June 7 Toney & Ruth Hargrove - 14 yrs However, the “third heaven” is wherein God dwells. It is where we long to abide for eternity. Paul tells us that NHC LEWISBURG June 8 Joe & Linda Mulliniks - 50 yrs God took him into the third heaven and told him things in which he couldn’t share with others (2 Cor. 12:2).
