shine

A story I've been meaning to post:

The other day we were driving home around sunset. From the back seat Emma started shouting excitedly, "Mommy! Mommy! What is that shiny thing over there?! Behind the trees! It's so beautiful and giant!" I looked out the window and there was the most gorgeous sunset I had seen in quite sometime. "Well, baby, that's a sunset. Isn't it beautiful?" I replied. " When I didn't get a response, I checked the rear-view to see a very sad looking little girl. "Why are you sad?" I asked. "I thought it was Jesus coming to get us." she said, obviously disappointed.

Oh to be so expectant of His return!
