A Little Bit of Heaven

The baby laughs and looks into her mother’s eyes, I see a little bit of Heaven. Children wait with excitement as their father opens a present, I see a little bit of Heaven. The young girl makes a sloppy birthday cake. I see a little bit of Heaven. My dog greets me and places his head on my lap, I see a little bit of Heaven. As the old man tends to his bed ridden wife. I see a little bit of Heaven. As warmth washes over me when I pray, I feel a little bit of Heaven. When stranger helps stranger and goes the extra mile I see a little bit of Heaven. God speaks to my heart and blesses me with Grace, I hear a little bit of Heaven. Grandma lies on her death bed and reassures her family, I see a little bit of Heaven. When the artist proudly shows off her work, I see a little bit of Heaven, When children play without any thought of status, religion or race, I see a little bit of Heaven. When the pastor works hard and gives up-his life for others, I see a little bit of Heaven. On a perfect day, when the sun is shining, the temperature is wonderful, and the landscape is inspiring and I feel the prescience of God with me, I see a lot of Heaven.
