The Sneak Peek of Heaven


"Stars are the sneak peek of heaven," Michaela said the other night while we were driving home.






"What?" I asked.



"Stars are the sneak peek of heaven," she said matter-of-factly.



As we pulled into our driveway and parked, I quickly got out my daytimer and jotted it down. It was brilliant!



Yes, I have quoted Michaela before. "Winning is fun." Yet this quote was different, somehow. :)



"Stars are the sneak peek of heaven."


Truth is I've felt restless these last few weeks...antsy, bored. I'm guessing it's a cabin fever thing, a tired of winter and longing for spring thing. It's embarrassing to admit. Yet it is my reality. I've been praying these last few weeks, "Lord show me you. Following you is the great adventure...seeing you work, seeing you love, seeing you impact."



So how can I feel bored, antsy and restless? I must be missing something.



"Stars are the sneak peek of heaven."



I smile. A sneak peek of heaven...I envision Christmas cards from when I was a kid. Christmas cards where children stare wide-eyed in disbelief at the array of presents under a glistening tree...the first sneak peek of Christmas.



"Stars are the sneak peek of heaven."



This is the ultimate sneak peek.





Maybe a sneak peek of heaven is just what I need right now!

  1. Thanks for sharing this. We can learn so much just by listening to the "youngers." It's like they have God on speed-dial and look at life under a microscope! I know for certain that this is going to be a seat-belt year. Hold on—it's going to be an adventurous ride!
