My little piece of Heaven

Being a mom has shown me a lot. It has given me a deeper sense of understanding as to the sacrifice that God gave us in His son Jesus. It has helped open my eyes to a love I never knew existed.  Most recently it has me thinking about heaven.

Many years ago my Grandpa Mac passed away. He went to join our Lord and Father in Heaven. He was an awesome man. One I am very grateful to have known and to call family. When we lost him, we lost so much. He was a great mentor, and someone who truly loved God, and Us. He taught me so much in the 15 short years I knew him. He taught me to look to heaven, and how to better love God by loving others. At his memorial service they played one of his favorite songs, which was “I can only imagine” by mercy me. I remember listening, and singing this song a lot back then. For the longest time I could not sing it without it making me cry. That is until now. I sing this song to my baby girl; praising God for the amazing miracle that he has blessed me with. Sometimes when I’m singing this song  I feel like my papa Mac is hear comforting my little angel, and loving on us both. When I start thinking about the lyrics I start thinking about heaven, and how I am sure Madeline is a little piece of heaven.





My little girl is so beautiful when I look into her eyes I see innocents, beauty and wonder. 
When she smiles I swear it is a little piece of heaven sent from above to warm the hearts of those of us here on earth. She is so honest, so pure, and so lovely; untainted by the world. She loves unconditionally, without fear or regret! She is so genuine in everything she does.  I see heaven in her. When I used to think about heaven it was just a lovely place to be when one died. Now I think it is so much more, it is a place where we are going to be continually praising God! He looks at me, at us, with the same awe and admiration that I look at my little one.  I know when I hold my precious baby I am holding a little part of heaven. If this is just a little part, I can’t imagine what the rest of it looks like.





I know my Papa Mac is no longer here on this earth, but I know that he is looking down and praising God for us all here on earth. I know that he is in a place that is even better than rocking my baby to sleep. I am in awe of God right now, and completely overcome with joy when I think about how much He loves us, how much He was willing to give for us and how amazing He truly is! 





I'm so glad that my papa Mac is now in heaven forever enjoying, and that he no longer has to imagine what it will be like. I am also so thankful for my very own little piece of heaven. Until next time enjoy your own little pieces of heaven,
