I was looking through pictures for a few minutes and ran across this one. I probably shared it a long time ago, but I just had to share it again..
This, to me, is what Heaven will be like.
Families reunited.
Joy that makes you jump.
Smiles that don’t hold back.
Nick with us again.
The only one missing is Adrienne, and I can just see her there with us too!!!
This picture was taken by Amy (her link is to the right) the day before Nick’s MRI that truly began our final nightmare in May of 2008. Nick had already been through at least six brain surgeries before this time, but truly after this day our lives were never the same.
Nick became sicker and sicker over the next six months and went Home on November 29th of that same year.
But, I thank God even now for this memory… and this picture.
Oh, I am so thankful to have this treasure.
I’m heading to bed, but I just had to share this with all of you for some reason. I hope it speaks joy to someone who stops by.
PHILIPPIANS 4:4 has been my favorite verse for as long as I can remember,
Rejoice in the Lord always;
again I say, Rejoice!
If Paul could write these words from a dark, cold prison cell, surely I can write them tonight.
Jumping for Joy only Because I Know Who Holds My Hand,
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! Email me anytime at 
It made ME smile! What a beautiful picture…of Heaven on Earth. And I know it must be just a glimpse of what that glorious reunion will be.
