This is one of my favorite pictures of JD. Although I can’t see his face, I imagine him smiling. I thought of this picture when I was told a story. The story: During a dream, a friend that I haven’t seen in a while is in the hospital about to lose someone she loves. JD appears in her dream, and they begin to talk. Through the conversation, JD asks her, “How is my mama doing, I can only see or hear her when she laughs.” This was an odd dream to my friend, because she knew JD only through David and me. Her prayer the next morning was for God to present a time for her to reveal this dream to me, if He wanted me to know. I’m sure she thought she would never have the opportunity to share this with me, but God knew. It just so happens that very afternoon she was at my school and told someone who sees me more often than she. And because of both of their obedience, I was reminded that God is still taking care of my broken heart through His people, just like He always will. I was also reminded that this statement JD made in the dream is completely Biblical, as we’ve been told there is no sorrow in Heaven. As I think more about this dream, I am more determined to laugh. God wants His children to laugh. I know life is hard, but I also know that this life is not the end. I pray that no matter what you may be going through that you’ll find time for God to comfort you and to laugh. JD may or may not be able to see my face, like I can’t his in this picture, but I am going to make more of an effort to smile and laugh. Genesis 21:6 ~ “God has given me cause to laugh, and all who hear it will laugh with me.“
