It's late and I am tired. Tears wet my cheeks; my heart is sad and weary. I just want to ask ---
What is Heaven like, Mom?
When your sister stepped through the pearly gates yesterday, were you there to give her a hug? Are you both young again and full of energy? Are you walking arm and arm, exploring the beauties of heaven?
Tonight, I'm just wondering ---
What is Heaven like, Mom?
Can you see us down here, struggling to make decisions? Do you see as God does, the beginning from the end? Does it all make sense now, the questions and the imperfections of this old world?
I wonder, really wonder ---
I wonder, really wonder ---
What is Heaven like, Mom?
Will it matter, in the grand scheme of things, how much work I got done this week? Will it matter if my girls have new school dresses and how much corn I have in the freezer? Will it matter that I couldn't make it to my aunt's funeral?
In the whirl of all the going and doing, I'd just like to ask ---

Can you see my angel baby? Walk and talk with all your old friends who went before you? Hug your granddaughter who lived here only a few short days? Is sitting at Jesus' feet, gazing into His face, enough?
I really have no idea, I just wonder ---

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." I Corinthians 13:12
I miss you Mom. Can't wait to join you up there!
Even so come Lord Jesus........
Love, Bethany
