2 Years Into Eternal Joy

Writer's picture: Lauri SmithLauri Smith

2 years ago today you entered the gates of Heaven. You saw Jesus first, and went straight into His loving arms. And then, you laughed and hugged and danced with Mom in the most joyful reunion ever. After that, your joy increased as you saw my two sisters running toward you with full freedom and abandon. No more wheelchair, illness, or mental challenges for Nancy. No more torment and pain for Janet, whose few hours on earth were filled with trauma.


Unspeakable joy. Eternal joy. A family reunion like no other. Reunited forever. And Jesus, in your midst, always.


It's hard to be left behind, but I try to make the most of the abundant life I'm offered here and now, every day, because of Jesus. I have a god-given purpose here, and I am doing my best to seek God's guidance and live that out. It's a beautiful unfolding of promise that is taking place through nothing I have done and everything He has done and is doing. Life is good, as good as it can be in a broken world. I am grateful.


I have no doubt I will be reunited with you all someday. And it will be beyond my wildest imaginings of glorious. I will have my own eternal joy in time - His time.


I love you all. And Nancy and Janet, I can't wait to get to know you. We will have forever to get to know and love each other.

Absolute truth! So very thankful for all the blessings on this side of heaven…. I see GOD working everyday as I lean into HIM and learn HIS word. And Heaven will be beyond our wildest dreams, better than we can even imagine because JESUS will be there! And I also can’t wait to see and hug family and friends that are already there!
