Simple glimpses of heaven are here on earth, each day…if we just choose to see them….
An unexpected kiss from a son
A baby’s belly laugh
A robin scurrying in the yard to fetch worms for her baby
Waking up to another rose in bloom
Friends who care in all times, good or bad, ugly or pretty, authentic and true
A church family drying each other’s tears, knowing there is eternal life together
Gratitude for time spent with loved ones, no matter how short
When two people connect, with no words, just glances
A rainbow in the sky
Drops of rain permeating the air with their fragrant smell
Friends praying together
Fireflies lighting up the yard at dusk…joy filled innocence running to catch ’em
The perfect scripture that reaches deep down into your soul, at just the right time
Hearing a favorite hymn
The sound of silence early in the morning
Sunrises that light the sky on fire, all shades of pink
Unexplainable joy, in all circumstances
Fields of sunflowers
Hands holding tight to each other
Cuddles on the couch
These things pale in comparison what awaits us in glory,
but they are glimpses of that day,
when all will be well…with my soul…
“Consider it all joy” James 1:2
What are you considering joy today and a glimpse of heaven?
