There was a party in Heaven on Sunday.
A huge party.
Complete with baseball games and IronMans...
Chocolate bars slathered in peanut butter and pepperoni sticks dipped in vanilla frosting...
Funny jokes and great big hugs...
A great big party.
Jesus called my brother home and while my heart feels broken I cling to truth and promises. I cling to my Father. I hold onto the joy in knowing my brother is now whole. Healed. Strong.
And oh, how I miss him.
And then, Sunday night, the party grew.
Brenton thought Heaven sounded heavenly. He wanted to go there when he died too.
My sweet boy.
My sweet sweet boy.
He wanted Jesus in his heart.
And so, we prayed.
And he smiled.
And the angels rejoiced.
Praise the Lord!
And now, as my heart breaks I look to my legs. I spend my runs with my Savior. I smile. I cry. I think of my brother and the blessing he is. Thankful to have had such an amazing big brother! I love you Chris!
