No Tears in Heaven

There are many things in life that no one understands, like why a life so very young can slip right through our hands. One moment life is perfect and the next it falls apart, leaving us with nothing but an eternally aching heart. Our souls cry out in agony amidst the suffering and despair. We feel the pain and tear our clothes and scream “It’s just not fair!” Spirits are now shattered. Hearts will never be the same. We grasp at straws and seek to find the one who is to blame. Horrific as our life now seems, one thing remains quite true. Our little ones have now been freed to do things angels do. They can’t recall the suffering of those last days they were here. They remember not the sorrow, the hurt, nor the fear. There are no tears in Heaven. No more sorrow. Only Joy. Heaven is filled with peals of laughter from each little girl and boy. We can only try to imagine, in spite of all earthly wrongs, our little angels are learning the words to the Angel’s songs. Amidst the children’s laughter and their Heavenly play, there’s also more important work going on there today. Jesus is building mansions, never taking time to sleep, for Reunions are being planned, yes, even as we weep. The children gather around Him and listen to Him speak, for He has all the answers that they curiously seek. He tells them for a time, in Heaven, they must wait, and then they can greet us at Heaven’s pearly gate.
