dd4, Bear, has been asked to give a small talk in her children's class on Sunday. Her topic? Preparing to live with Jesus again. So I ask her

Me: "What do you need to do in order to live with Jesus again?"

Bear: "Have a funeral."

Me:

Bear: "and die"

Me:

"uh, yeah, this is true, but, uh what do you have to do BEFORE you die?

Bear: "Loose your skin."

Me:

"huh?" then I remembered that when my great-grandma died, we told her that our Spirits-on-earth-in-a-body are like a hand in a glove. when you die, the hand comes out of the glove and can still move, think, BE, but the body (glove) is just dead. it is NOT the person you loved.

Bear: "and then our body gets to be in, like, a bed for the funeral. and then you are with Heavenly Father because you are dead."

well, at least she has got death part down. now I guess we need to work harder on LIFE!

Aren't kids precious???

The twin girls on my sister in laws family called my father Pa just like the grandchildren (even though they were not techincally related), and when my dad died, one of the twins said Pa's angel just took him up to heaven where he is going to live with Jesus now. This was her interpretation of what was going on. Isn't that the sweetest??? She was 5 at the time.

God's Blessings,
