Happy 26th Birthday Jadyn!

The Philipps family summer season of birthdays has begun. It starts with Troy’s in July and Jadyn’s is today. As I (troy) was considering my mortality, I’ve been thinking more about heaven. *Disclaimer “Families who have lost children talk way more about death than the normal family. It just happens like that…”

Of course Kristin and I always joke about who is going first! 😊 Some might call it “nagging me to death” LOL

However, the strangest thing came over me the other day while out walking.  The Lord gave me a vision of Kristin going to heaven first. Now I don’t mean how, but really her entrance into heaven. That is something I never considered before…

Of course then I pictured the most stunning image of all.

What would the greeting be like with Jadyn and Kristin? WHOA! Now there is an image of a mother and daughter embrace like none other. That absolutely brought me to tears…The reunion of these 2 best friends.

My fingers tingled and I got the chills. God reminded me that death is temporary for those of us who know, and trust Jesus with our lives. My 2 girls coming back together in heaven… What a party that will be.

Revelation 21:1-4: This passage describes a new heaven and a new earth, where God will dwell with his people and wipe away every tear. 

Romans 8:38-39: These verses assure believers that nothing can separate them from God’s love in Christ, including death itself.
