I Can Only Imagine…

I can only imagine. Those words can mean so much to so many different people. For me they have a place imbedded in my heart as we had the song “I Can Only Imagine” by MercyMe put on the Video montage of a photo slideshow that played in the background as each picture popped up on the screen.

Before Mari died, the song had always held a special place for me as the lyrics really touch home for what we all try to imagine heaven to be when we get there, when we finally get to see Jesus. I chose this song to be played in the montage because I can only imagine what it will be like to see Mari up in heaven. To see her happy. To see her there with Jesus. Just to know I get to see her again someday. I truly believe know this is what helps me to get through. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without my faith.
