I had a glimpse of heaven this evening.
Caleb declared he wanted to make a chocolate fondue for dessert this evening. So we did. After a while we realized things had cooled down significantly outside. It has been rather hot (for this area) around here the last two days, around 95-98 degrees plus all the humidity we always have present. This evening a thunderstorm was moving through. Not a huge one, just enough to cool things down to pleasant. The wind was blowing and you could watch the lighting flashing different colors in the distance.
As a family we just sat on the porch enjoying fondue and watching the storm. Then there was a break in the clouds and sun shone through. For a few precious moments we had a dazzling rainbow as we sat happily together.
I think I was allowed a sliver of heaven this evening. I see no reason to only wait to enjoy things after I die when right here, right now, those moments can happen.
Take a look around you, sometimes everything is just right. It may not last long, but you may find your own glimpse now and then too.
