Mark 13:35-37
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back-whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ “
I love knowing that Jesus could come back ANYTIME! Sometimes when I am feeling really blue about the reality that Nick will never be here again…no more feeling his hugs, no more hearing his voice, no more seeing his sweet face light up…..
I remember that He is with Jesus and that he will get to be a part of the exciting day when Jesus leaves Heaven to come bring us all HOME! It’s just like Nick to have this kind of opportunity!!!! It makes me smile just thinking of how excited he will be when that day arrives!
Until then, I have to soak up silly little moments here on this earth where sleeping is something that isn’t safe even at sleepovers!
A few nights ago while Todd, Adrian, Trevor, Caleb, and TJ were soundly sleeping, Olivia decided to pull a little prank. About 3 a.m., she woke me up to say that she was hiding the boys’ shoes in the deep freeze. I remember thinking, “Did I just hear what I think I heard?” I got up to see what was going on, and sure enough, Olivia was slipping through the kitchen with a flashlight!
I had to take pictures the next morning when the boys woke up and discovered her little mischievous deed. (Oh, remember my deep freeze quit working last spring while we were out of town??? Mom and Dad graciously bought us a new one this spring….but I’m thinking Dad wasn’t planning to have it used for things like this!)
Adrian finds the evidence!
Frozen shoes.
He then makes the deliveries….
Trevor and Todd realize that Trevor’s shoes are frozen solid!
TJ decides that ice cold flip flops are “awesome!”
I hope that your nights of sleep don’t involve sneaky little girls pulling pranks but
MORE THAN THAT
I hope that when Jesus returns you are ready!
Much love,
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 
Yes. I am so looking forward to when He calls us to Heaven. I’m ready.
One more morning. One day closer.
