Tired in her eyes, "I fixed up my room, Mommy."
She laid her head on my shoulders in deep heavy sigh, collapsing into me. It was, after all, well past her bed time.
Glimmer in her eyes, "Look up, Mama."
Joy in her eyes, "See the blue light!"
Bouncing around every corner of our ceiling and back again.
Life in her eyes, "A puppet show!"
Dark shadows of fingers dancing above.
In the twinkle of an eye, her tiredness became a glimmer of hope as she reached for her tiny flashlight key chain hidden from my sight. Looking up, she knows what the five second future holds and the joy of it all brings energy back into her little soul. Beaming with life and captivated by this puppet show in the ceiling sky. Watching and creating all the same.
"...and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory."
Matthew 24:30
Thank you, sweet Madelyn, for reminding me to look to sky for the glorious wonder that awaits!
