Psalm 27:4 "One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple."
Today, Feb. 22nd, marks the one year anniversary of my Mom passing away. It's remarkable and really unfathomable for me to think about the fact that she and Dad are both DWELLING in the house of the Lord... gazing into his beautiful face RIGHT NOW!
God gave me a clear picture in the moments that Mom passed - we'd already been missing Dad for 8 years and the Lord strongly, clearly brought to my mind a photo of them both - taken the year they were married. It's not the best quality but it's clear enough to see the joy on their faces... to hear the laughter that is portrayed in the photo... knee slapping, side-splitting laughter. I believe God brought that photo to mind in that moment because they were both at that very moment in each other's presence once again and more amazingly IN HIS PRESENCE.
Don't you think being WITH HIM will bring enough joy that there will be knee slapping, side-splitting laughter... along with a million other outrageous emotions when we gaze into his beauty!?!!
