Heaven Is Better Than Hawaii

Good morning…

Throughout this Christmas season, a small group of us have been praying for a boy with cancer named Messiah.

“My Make A Wish child, Messiah, passed away this morning,” our friend texted us midday, completely brokenhearted. “We didn’t have time to fulfill his wish of going to Hawaii. Life is so short and precious.”

“I’m so sorry, you are so right about life being short,” one friend texted back.

“I am sorry about Messiah. I will remember him in my prayers,” texted another in our group.

“Oh, dear one,” I immediately responded. “I lift you up in prayer knowing that you did all you could to grant his final wish, but sometimes the Spirit’s pull back to the comforts of heaven is even more wonderful than Hawaii. I love your giving heart. Messiah would say, ‘Thanks for all your efforts, but I am so happy in my eternal home.’ Sending you my love as you grieve deeply my friend.”

“Love you, Sue,” she texted back. “This really lifts my Spirit up.”

“I love you too,” I reciprocated. “God is the lifter of our Spirit. You have such a tender, loving heart. We adore you and are lifting you and Messiah’s family in our prayers right now.”
