HOW many of the little boys and girls who read this paper like to stand at the window and watch the rain-drops as they fall pattering on the pane, or the beautiful white flakes of snow as they fly whirling through the air? Then do you think of the kind, loving Father in heaven, who sends the gentle showers that are needed to make things grow?
Older persons as well as children like to watch the rain and the snow and the people passing to and fro on the street.
A teacher once asked her Sunday-school class of little ones what they thought they would do in heaven. One dear little girl said, she would “look out of the window in heaven.” She, like many other children, could not think of anything she liked better than to “look out of the window”.
The day our little friend gave this answer was the last she was ever in Sunday-school. The next Lord’s Day she was sick and a few days later the Lord took her to be with Himself.
Yes, dear little ones, in this world, we like very much to see from the window the many things that make us think of God’s power and goodness. But when we are in heaven, we will be with the One who gives us so many good things. There we will see Jesus Himself and that will be better than looking out of the window. Through all the years of eternity we will never tire of gazing upon that glorious face of our Blessed Saviour who once died for us and is now preparing for us a home in heaven, where cs e will soon be with Him forever and ever.
