DAY 7: What is the Kingdom of Heaven Like?

12/4/2016

What is the Kingdom of Heaven like? Let me tell you. It's like when you get a text from the babysitter saying that your daughter can't find her retainer anywhere in the house. You get home and search and find nothing. The next morning you realize that the paper bag she took her lunch in the previous day on her field trip does not have her name on it. All is lost. Calls are made to the orthodontist. A budget reassessed. A cloud looms. Then when you get home you discover the retainer in her mouth!!!! How can this be??? It awaited her in her cubby at school. How? Who knows, but the weight is lifted, burden discarded. Rejoicing and celebration commences. That is what the Kingdom of Heaven is like. #TheParableOfTheLostRetainer
