picture this

"A cheerful look brings joy to the heart..." Proverbs 15:30
 

Yesterday, the hall was lined with shiny faces, styled hair, and colorful clothes.  Smiles were big and plentiful.  Momentarily, worries and concerns slipped away.  

It was picture day at school.  I loved seeing the happy faces.  Everyone looked party-ready for a fun time.

Now, can you picture this?  Besides no frowns, also --
No tears....
No pain...
No worry...
No heartache...
No loneliness...
But just pure, absolute JOY?
One day, it will be for all who believe.
 
Smile for the camera because it's school picture day.  
But smile everyday because of what our Father has in store for us at His heavenly gathering.

Ready?  Smile and say, "Thank You, Jesus!"

we are loved and chosen by God,
