to ponder.

I just finished reading Predator by Terri Blackstock.  It was worth the time to read...kept me on my toes and I never did guess the ending, which defines success in a suspense novel to me.  Well, the last paragraph is closure and this is what was written,

"She's with Jesus, who adored her already.  He has the same photo albums we have.  I know He is thrilled to have her."

I love this!  I have just never thought of it like this and what a comfort that is when down here we grieve so horribly for the ones we love, but would we ever wish them back from that Holy place where they get to sit at the feet of the One who loves them most of all?  And to think of Him having the same memories because he was present at every second of life...I just love it.

A glimpse.  I can just see her smiling this smile up into Jesus face!

I've never thought of it that way either! Thanks for sharing. Seeing her face reminds me of Caleb..the eyes and smile :)
