Snow Days
We watch the sky with great expectation.
Heavy with winter, the clouds promise a gift.
Snowflakes.
White perfection.
Quieting the sounds of this world.
Muffling everyday noises to near nothingness.
Peace – right in the middle of everything that seems less than peaceful.
Kids long for them because they understand the gift.
Weary teachers dance for them because they long for rest.
Snow Days
Heaven
We watch the sky with great expectation.
Heavy with this world’s burdens, the clouds promise a gift.
Jesus.
Perfection.
Quieting the sounds of this world.
Muffling everyday noises to near nothingness.
Peace – right in the middle of everything that seems less than peaceful.
Kids love the thought of this place because they understand the gift.
Weary Christians dance for the promise of this place because they long for rest.
Heaven.
Maybe snow days are just a metaphor with kids and teachers being part of the figurative language,
showing the world what it looks like to truly long for Heaven.
“If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy,
the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.
If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud.
Probably earthly pleasures were never really meant to satisfy, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing…
I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death…
I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and to help others to do the same.”
(C. S. Lewis)
I’m not sure what you are longing for today,
but I hope that in the midst of this Christmas season you will take time to look to the sky with great expectation,
knowing that while Jesus longs for us to live abundant lives while we are here,
embracing every snow day with the joy of a child,
He promises more in the life to follow than this world can ever offer.
He will come again!
Embrace that promise!
For our citizenship is in heaven, from
which also we eagerly wait for a
Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ
Phil. 3:20
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new
earth,”
for the first heaven and the first
earth had passed away,
and there was no longer any sea.
I saw the Holy City, the new
Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from
God,
prepared as a bride beautifully
dressed for her husband.
Rev. 21:1-2
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
