Glimpses

Sometimes you catch them,

A child discovering something new as pure joy overcomes him,

Love shared between an elderly couple as they still hold hands whilst walking down the street,

The way the light of the sunset catches on the waves,

Smiles and laughter shared between good friends,

A family sitting down together to share a well-earned meal at the end of a long day,

The smell of rain falling on the freshly cut grass in the summer time,

A new husband making breakfast for his wife,

The touch of baby wrapping her first around your finger for the first time,

A passerby stopping and sharing lunch with a homeless man.

All these and many more are the tiny glimpses of heaven that surround us. Glimpses of sheer joy, love, servanthood, community, peace, beauty, the list goes on and on.

Glimpses of our Heavenly Father Himself.
