Time to Leave

 

December 30

“Everything will be fine you’ll see,” his mother said lovingly to the boy.

“But suppose the world does end,” he insisted, “I won’t ever see you again.”

She assured him, “I’ll see you in Heaven. You will go up from here and your Dad and I from the Civic Center.”

“How will I find you in Heaven? It will be more crowded than the Civic Center.”

She hugged him. “Remember Heaven has pearly gates? Wait for me there. Ok?”

“That’s a deal Mom.”

 “Mizpah, because he said, ‘May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from another.” (Genesis 31:49)
