Chelsea modified this sign with her finger as she took the shot. The new wording seems to say, “Welcome, This play area is designed for children 25 years of age with adult supervision recommended.” The old wording must have indicated 2 to 5 years of age.
I like the cheerful look on the kids’ faces. It reminds me about Bible promises about heaven.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:51,52
When that event happens, I can imagine the people will have smiling faces like these kids. We all have different ideas about heaven. Some might believe it doesn’t exist. Something to consider is science looks for natural causes for our existence, but it does not rule out the existence of a creator. For example, science has no solid explanation for the properties of electrons, protons, and photons. The Bible gives us insight into things beyond our reality and the things that are important.
When I think of heaven, I think about happiness and how we treat each other. Whether we are age 2 heading toward 25 or 95 looking forward to looking 25 again, we know heaven will be happy, just like the kids in the picture.
