The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling together;
and a little child will lead them. - Isaiah 11:6
Last night the Critter Barn came to Grace (see the picture). The Intersection was turned into a barn as there were goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and a lot of straw. However, the exciting part of the entire evening was the number of people that came to see the animals. The community turned out it great numbers and their where many children laughing and smiling as they held the rabbits and petted the goats.
In Isaiah, the Lord, gives us a small picture of heaven. It is a picture where little children peacefully coexist with the animals. Last night, as we saw many different ethnicities gathered together, many different ages, and little children interacting with the animals, I believe we truly saw a little glimpse of heaven here on earth.
Prayer: Thank you Lord for the wonderful evening we had at Grace as the community gathered together to have a fun and enjoyable time with the animals. Thank you for the promise of heaven and the small glimpses you give to us to renew our hope. Amen.
Faith Tip: Today watch for those little glimpses of heaven that God might give to you.
