A Fly On the Wall

To be a fly on the wall in heaven, oh what I wouldn’t give.  Lately, we’ve had a ton of flys around my house.  Gosh! Those darn things are annoying, but imagine all those precious moments that they get to see.  Wouldn’t you like to be a fly?  Especially a fly in heaven? 

Think about it.  Just yesterday, sadly my church family had to bury a child from our congregation, a little boy who was killed tragically over the weekend.  But, as sad as the event was, the event was also heart-warming as that little boy had just accepted Jesus as his Savior the week before in Vacation Bible School and therefore the moment he passed from this earth he was present with his Savior.

It was a homecoming  unlike any other.  The angels ushered him into heaven.  And, if I had been a fly on the wall, I’m quite certain that those tears I shed over his family’s loss yesterday would not have been present for in heaven there are no tears and there is no sadness, in heaven there was only a celebration.

They celebrated as another of God’s children came home.  I’m sure it was unlike any celebration we have experienced here on earth and honestly I would have loved to even have been a fly on the wall.  Thank God for his grace and mercy, for his salvation that came to us through his Son, Jesus and that one day we will all as God’s children enter heaven.
