Day 27 of 31 Days. Today’s word prompt is “better.”

“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.” This chorus started playing in my head and heart when I read today’s word prompt. This catchy song reminds me of all the people that gave gone before me.

Grandpa Sam, Mom’s friend Karen, Crystal’s mom Renee, Grandma Bess, My cousins little ones Maia and Jack, my friend Justin, my high school English teacher Barb, my high school newspaper advisor Jane, my friend Ben, Professor Ralph, Laura and Rod, Rachel, Stephanie, our dear friend Jim, Grandpa Wilbert. These are only some of the names of individuals that have blessed my life and are no longer on this side of heaven.

I can’t wait to see them again. I can’t wait to see heaven. Most of all, I can’t wait to sit and break bread with Jesus.
