HEAVEN

Tonight is an odd night...I am thinking about Jason and I am almost giddy. As I look at the world and everything that is going on, I can not help but think of Jason. He loved to read his bible, and listen to CNN and read the Jerusalem Times and contemplate what God was doing. Often, it seemed to consume him, but tonight, and tomorrow, and forever he will simply be consumed with Jesus. Sometimes, like tonight, I can sense the sheer joy in his spirit as he listens and becomes one with the music of heaven, as he gazes, in shear awe, at the face of Jesus. Jason yearned for heaven....I never really understood...until now. The past four years have not been easy, yet I have learned more about faith and Jesus and myself than in the fifty-six years that preceded them. And this I know to be true...It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus, life's trials will seem so small, when we see Him, One look at His dear face, all sorrow will erase, IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL...WHEN WE SEE CHRIST. So, I find myself with this anticipation that I have never known before and at least for tonight, it is truly the balm of Gilead to my soul. So I declare with the psalmist....Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and all that is with in me bless his holy name!
