            A Little Glimpse of Heaven

My step-grandkids recently frolicked in our front yard, soaking each other with a bubble-maker.  The laughter of Matt and Zach (pictured) and Alli (not pictured) echoed for several blocks in the first really warm afternoon of Spring.  The sounds of pure joy --the belly laughs, the shrieks, the "do it agains" -- are the sounds of not having a care in the world.  Those sounds are better than music to my ears, and to the ears of that happy Nana in the background.  I am convinced with all my heart that these are the sounds of unbridled joy that are echoing from one end of heaven to the other -- and to hear the laughter and see the pure joy in little children is a foreshadowing of what we will see and hear in heaven.
