Shards from above







Tell me is there a greater joy on this Earth than seeing sick and once dying children have the time of their life? Seeing shells of a childhood spring to life in vivacious smiles and laughter? Giving cherished gifts to those who have very little? Singing praise songs with those to whom the works of God are fresh and new? Seeing the faces of mothers who wept for weeks grinning ear to ear freely shouting their thanks to God? Sharing a banquet where citizens of opposing nations openly enjoy one another and 5 different language are spoken not with confusion, but unity, all with joy and praise on their lips? Being stuffed full of food around a table surrounded by new friends? Tonight I caught a glimpse of heaven.
