...like tonight when Stella hugged me for the first time. She put her head on my shoulder wrapped one hand around my neck and patted my back with her other hand. I think I died and went to Heaven for that moment.
Or like this one: Stella and I were watching a quick Veggie Tales Video before I put her to bed the other night. I found one where Junior Asparagus sings "I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me - it was just a still-shot of Junior and the words to the song flashed at the bottom of the picture. I found myself in tears as my little one rested her head against my shoulder and sucked her thumb. In spite of this taste of heaven on earth, I know that what I'm experiencing as a mom is only a fraction of the joy I will know someday in heaven - that takes my breath away because I truly can only imagine the depth of joy I will have when I stand before my Savior. God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son so that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life. I can't wait to meet Him face-to-face and to thank Him for all the blessings in my life.

Here are the words:
I Can Only Imagine (Mercy Me)
I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side...
I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when Your Face is before me.
I can only imagine. I can only imagine.
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
I can only imagine, when that day comes, when I find myself standing in the Son.
I can only imagine, when all I will do, is forever, forever worship You.
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!
I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!
I can only imagine.
I can only imagine, when all I do is forever, forever worship You!
I can only imagine.
