My Baby Brother is in Heaven

Last Friday I had the privilege to join a Released Time's closing program. During the snack time, I got to chat with some students about camp and memorizing verses. One thin blonde girl dressed as a princess complete with a tiara told me that her baby brother and grandmother were in heaven. I said "oh I am sorry" to which she immediately replied, "Oh Don't worry I am going to see them again when Jesus takes me to heaven!" I later learned that she was a student that had begun a relationship with Christ during Released Time. This is a perfect example of God's work in the life of a student. Grief turned to Joy!
1Th 2:19 NIV-  "For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?"
