Surprises.

God...has begotten us...to an inheritance...reserved in heaven. (1 Peter 1:3-4)

When [political cartoonist] Mike Peters won the Pulitzer..., he wasn't expecting the honor. He...[said], "It is like you are asleep and it is two in the morning and you are hugging your pillow and you are in your funny pajamas and somebody bursts through the door and they come over and start shaking you and they say, 'Wake up, wake up!' And you say, 'What is it?' And they say, 'You have just won the Boston Marathon!' And you say, 'But I'm not running in the Boston Marathon.' And they say, 'Doesn't make any difference, you won.'"...

Heaven too will hold some surprises, [including] honor and glory...for behavior that was so natural, so undistinguished, and so noncompetitive.
