A rdyth, you’ll catch a cold if you don’t take off that wet blouse,” Mother warned. “ It’s not very wet. I’m okay.” “All right, little Miss. I’ve heard chickens like you crow before. As damp and cool as it is you could get pneumonia.” “ If I get pneu — whatever that is, will I die?” “ I guess it would be p o s s ib le , honey. Why do you ask?” “ ‘Cause I want to die and go to heaven and be with Bobby again. And in heaven I’ll see Jesus too.” Mother’s eyes became a >bit moist as she thought of her young daugh­ ter’s reason for wanting to die. The five year old missed her big brother and wanted to see him. Of course, even the youngest child also knows that heaven means seeing the Lord. Ardyth perched herself on the arm of the chair and put her dear little arms around Mother’s neck. “You’re glad Bobby isn’t sick any more, aren’t you?” She sensed that Mommie’s tears were connected with Bobby. “ I miss him too, Mommie. Sometimes I think I’ll cry but I don’t. He’s gonna have a new body some day. Jesus just took his spirit to heaven when he died. When I get to heaven Bobby will smile at me and I’ll smile at him and hug him.” “So will I, darling. And thanks for helping me.” Then lifting her heart to her Saviour, Mother thanked Him fo r the c om fo r t from her small daughter. The little girl understood from the Word what death means to God’s children. And Mother began to understand in a new way why God sometimes takes a choice jewel from among us. We must get our eyes off this old earth and away from the world which “passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” (1 John 2:17). “ Thank you, Father, that there is more to life than just the here and now. This phase of our being is so transient. O glad day when ‘the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet the Lord. . . . So shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore, comfort one another with these words’ (1 Thes. 4:16-18). ‘As for me, I will be­ hold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake in thy likeness.’ ” (Psa. 17:15.)
