Look both ways...

Acts 1:9-11 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” 
Notice that the angels here do not say: "Stop looking!"  They ask WHY they are looking.  Are they looking in expectation or exasperation?  There needs to be a longing for Him to come again, so we need to keep on "looking."  But we also need to be looking around and ahead in this life for what and who Jesus wants us to be doing.
