Friday's Faith - Heaven's Highlights: Done! :o)

Friday's Faith

Heaven's Highlights:

Done! :o)

Going through old Highlights magazines,

I find the familiar scribble of my child:

Checking off pictures of seen scenes

Found one by one, she, checking, carefully filed...

Then at the top of the page, she'd marked "Done!"

And by its side, she'd drawn that familiar smile...

Which makes me wonder, does God too mark, "Done!"

In His magazine of Highlights, with a smile

When He gets back each and every one

Of His children, safely to Heav'n from earth,

Carefully observing, marking each child's work,

As each comes back to Heav'n when their task is done,

Noting, "Well Done!" when they've completed their work

and gathered back Home to their Father's smile?

He'll say,

"Well done, my faithful servant, child,

You have been faithful with a few things;

Now I will put you in charge of many things.

Come now, enter into Your Father's kingdom;

Welcome Home! Now come and share in your Father's smile!

From "Done! :o)" to "Well Done! :0)"

She enters into the joy of His smile...

Matthew 25:21(NIV):

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant!

You have been faithful with a few things;

I will put you in charge of many things.

Come and share your master's happiness.'"
