Wonder why...

I have always wondered why people think that when you die you become an angel. The more profound the loss the more stories about another angel in heaven as if being an angel is a better deal. Why would anyone want to be a servant of God when you can be the child of God? Cash, the little boy in my last post walked into heaven whole and well and one of the many laughing, playing children at the feet of the King. He isn't an angel with a job but a child in a relationship. Please don't misunderstand my feelings about angels, I am sure they are impressive and magnificent and glorifying but they are not God's children. Less we forget we were created for a different kind of relationship. Angels are a different created being...I have no idea if God has created more but they do not procreate. There is a certain number of angels...the ones that stayed, the ones that fell. We on the other hand are the many children of God and enter eternity as we were in time, sons and daughters. I am looking forward to meeting that angelic host, they must be spectacular. There does not seem to be much comfort in our loves ones transforming into another being, there is much comfort in our loved ones being transformed into a better them.
