A beautiful imagining of Jesse in Heaven by my niece Nici Bueckert.
1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Thank you.
This was a good thing to read on this day, the 13th anniversary of Nicholas’ passing. Thank you.
Hi Susan. May God wrap his arms around you on this day in some special way. Our hearts are with you.
what a precious painting,and precious gift. i love the details. how wonderful. i´m glad i got to see it. it reminds me of something i read today. in ezra when the temple was rebuilt, i think it was during the dedication, the people made so much noise they could be heard from all around. some of the people were mourning over the loss of the old temple, some were rejoicing in the Lord for the building of the new temple. the Lord asked me which i thought He would want for me. i had to think about it, but then i knew. to take the path of gratitude and hope for the future. this painting is a picture of that and a wonderful confirmation of what the Lord showed me today. i pray His blessing will fill your´s and anna´s hearts today. love you!
Thank you for your love and blessing. It is in looking forward that our hope of reunion lies-so forward we will go by the grace of God.
Your niece did a wonderful job, Peter. I can actually see Jesse on that horse. The Scripture is so fitting too. I am so glad that we have a living hope and can look forward to seeing our loved ones hereafter.
Amen, and thank you for the encouragement.
