Last week Lexi came out of her room while Jason and I were watching TV on the couch. With a sad face she whispered, "When I am in Heaven can I do anything I want?" I replied, "Yes, of course." Lexi asked, "So I can hug and kiss you whenever I want?" My heart sank and my eyes filled with tears. I walked her back to her room and she asked, "Is Gigi an angel?" I said, "I think so." She then asked if she will be an angel too. I told her I thought she will be as well. Lexi replied, "I don't want to be an angel because angels have wings and I can hug you tighter with arms." We sat on her bed and talked for a long time about Heaven, angels, prayer, and God. We squeezed tightly and I scooped her up and brought her into our bed. I am always in awe of Lexi's passion about God and Heaven at such a young age. She is my little angel.
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
