The Ultimate Prize



In my granddaughter’s eleven-month-old mind, her brother’s bedroom is the ultimate prize.  He has cool toys and a whole lower shelf of board books she can pull down.  Yesterday, as I watched Joelle determinedly army crawl down the hall to get to Benjamin’s room, the tune to “Shall We Gather By The River” put itself into new words. 

Shall we crawl on down the hallway?
The beautiful, the beautiful hallway?
Shall we crawl on down the hallway
That leads to Benjamin’s room?

What would happen if I put my whole self into pursuing Christ?  Like Joelle, I would find heaven.
