"we can only imagine"
...in high school i had a friend who would say that she always imagined Jesus in a white t-shirt and jeans with holes in them. i remember growing up wishing that i had never seen a picture or drawing of how others pictured Jesus. my children do not go to sunday school and therefore have rarely seen any photographs of Jesus. one day while at the theater, my three year old daughter pointed at the picture on the screen and announced to me without hesitation or question in her voice, "mommy, that is Jesus, there he is, he is fishing." i do wonder how her perception of Him might change with age but for the record i hope it never does. what do you imagine when you dream of meeting our Father---is he a child at play, a king in royal clothing, or maybe a humble man in torn jeans?
