Heaven is for Real

Yesterday I read "Heaven is for Real."  It's a true story about a little boy who went to heaven while he was having surgery.  It's a really short, quick read, but my goodness it's powerful!  Brought me to tears and strengthened my desire to live with God again.  In one chapter, this little boy tells his father about how much God loves us.  "Dad, you wouldn't belieeeeve how much God loves us!"  He also describes how beautiful heaven is.  He also talks about meeting his sister, who his mother had lost in a miscarriage.  He talks about Christ and how His eyes are so pretty and how he got to see the "marks" on His hands and feet.

The whole thing left me with a quiet peace.  And even more LOVE for these sweet children of mine.  I love them so so much.  More than I can even put into words.  Things have been a lot better the past few days with Cam.  I have been enjoying these 3 like crazy.  Laughing with them.  Dancing with them.  Reading with them.  I cannot get enough of them!  Heaven IS for real, and being with these 3 and my sweet Nate for forever is all I want out of life.

I've been wanting to read that. Did you just get it from the library? Have you read Return from Tomorrow? It's kind of the same premise, but it's with a young man who died while in the war and he shares his experience of passing over and then coming back to life. It is amazing. I have it if you want to read it. It's also a quick read.

I loved that book too. My kids are excited about the rainbow horses. :) Claire reminds me of Karen in the 3rd to last picture--where her bottom lip isn't showing. Karen used to make that face.
