I believe that the fallacy of a better life being “somewhere else” is the biggest lie that people are often deceived by. It’s the here and now, this world and this time, that can be and often are Heaven. It’s up to us… how we live and how we perceive things. The term “Emmanuel” or God With Us has always held power for me - because God wasn’t just with us as Jesus, God is always with us, every moment of every day in every circumstance, just as you have pointed out.
