After viewing my Hopeful Friday Post, please click on the logo above to visit Cielo at The House In The Roses to visit others that are writing Hopeful Thoughts. This is a captivating view that makes one stop and meditate on where it leads... I couldn't help feel that it was the path to heaven the day I snapped this photo. With no home in sight, it only left the destination to my imagination...
I've returned to capture Spring, Summer, and Fall...I'm waiting for the winter ice to create a glittering angelic appearance so I can do my best to capture it in it's essence. Once done, I want to get it professionally matted and call it Four Seasons of Heaven...

I remember having a dream many years back. In the dream I thought I was living out Psalm 23, the fields were so lush and green... I felt serene and safe in the dream, the same way I feel everytime I stand at the gate and see this view.
My grandmother used to describe Heaven as a Family Reunion...and it's how she focused on meeting death. She lived to be 92 and when she passed on to Heaven, we did our best to "Celebrate her life" instead of mourn her passing. I still have tears stream down my cheeks some late evenings when I can't fall asleep in bed because I miss her so much. But, I'm comforted to know she's experiencing the Four Seasons of Heaven in the presence of the Lord, and all those at her family reunion!
As for the path awaiting my next visit to capture the ice, we have an unspoken date. When the ice comes, she will whisper my name and I'll go running to inhale one last beautiful season so I can complete the Four Seasons of Heaven! I will enjoy seeing this hung in my home, and each time I walk by, I'll envision my Grandma celebrating in her new home, Heaven...and my Hope to someday have her hand outstretched to mine as I come home to join her!
I love you Grandma!
This "Hopeful Friday" post is dedicated to you!

Pure poetry! I love this post!
I can't wait to see the Four Seasons all matted and hung in your home. What a gorgeous tribute to your hope in Him and the joy you had sitting at the knee of a grandma that blessed you so much.
This is the most joyful post I've read in a long time. Thanks for inviting me to come and visit.

What a beautiful post! I am reading this belatedly today - I have been so busy and haven't had much computer time. I am so glad that you shared today - it made me think of my mom and how she is enjoying heaven right now with our loved ones that have gone before and with our beloved Savior. She is free of pain and sufferings of this world and your grandmother too! What a blessing to be able to sit at the feet of Jesus - basking in His glory - in a new body viewing the beauty of Heaven!
I enjoy reading your blog so much and hope to follow up reading your journey from the beginning - we have much in common.
Blessings to you beautiful friend!
Kymber
