Current and Future Joys

Erin and Luke and Thomas were here today! Also Tara got here this morning too and brought her dog Carter. Erin and Luke brought their dog Sadie. Carter and Sadie had a great time wrestling with each other and we had a great time watching them. Grammie made awesome food and there were uplifting and fun conversations. I feel a lot better today. I was exhausted all day yesterday after the blood taking.

I started thinking about Heaven today when I was in my car. Some stuff has come up that has had me a little....well....I don't know if upset is right word. But I've been a bit out of sorts. So I popped in Come Weary Saints and started listening to it. Mom had us do the first track "Hide Away in the Love of Jesus" for Jason when he was leaving and it has always been encouraging to me. So there's this one part that talks about ten thousand joys awaiting us and it always brings tears to my eyes because I know that we were made for those joys and to rejoice in Him for all eternity.

So I love being with my family. But the joy that they bring me does not compare even a smidgen with the joy I will have being with my Lord.
