heaven

Each night we try to read several stories from Stella's Bible. Lately, she's been wanting to read the last few stories...about how God changed Saul's name to Paul...and how Jesus is coming back soon. This has opened her little mind to lots of questions and comments about heaven. Here are a few:

 

"Where's Grandma Nixon?  Did you cry when she went to heaven? why?

Then, Stella was in your belly and came to stay here with you!"

 

"Will Jesus come in my room and get us?"

"I can put my fairy wings on and Jesus will like those."

"We don't have streets of gold here...."

"If Jesus lives in heaven, then he doesn't live in our heart?"

"Does he hear us when we pray?"

"He can hear everything"

I pray that Michael and I can speak and think like a child when we try to answer these questions...they are so true and pure.  I know there will be plenty more questions, but I never want to forget these first few...
