Heaven Is For Kids

Looking through a closet the other day, I found a doll that some friends gave us years ago as a souvenir from a mission trip to Russia. It's one of those colorfully painted wooden peasant dolls that has several other dolls nested in, so you have several sizes of dolls when you are finished opening each one. My three-year-old granddaughter was thrilled to see each doll and got so excited each time she saw another one inside a doll.

When we get to heaven, we will all be like children, running around to see so many new things. And each will be so new and exciting, our eyes will sparkle and shine with amazement, just like Jenna's did. I wonder if Jesus will be standing by to observe our reactions as we explore this New Earth He is preparing for us. Oh, the wonders He has for us to discover. Our imaginations can't contain the things He has for us there. Won't it be fun?! Jesus did say we must become like little children. I can't wait for the Day and the adventures He has planned for us in heaven.

I think the older we get, the more we anticipate heaven. It will be wonderful, though I can't fully imagine how wonderful--none of us can.
