Colorful Heaven

05.07.2009 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

Since Beza’s big decision last week there has been a lot more talk about heaven and eternity.

Today on the way to football practice the conversation in the car turned to heaven and who the kids would most like to see. Beza said her Ethiopian mommy and daddy. Natalie said Grandma Tuttle.

Then Noah suggested that Beza might not recognize her Ethiopian mommy and daddy because maybe they would be white in heaven.

Before I jumped in with some theological answer Wendemagegn piped up “Yeah, I think you gonna be black in heaven Noah!”

I was trying so hard to keep a straight face.

From there the conversation turned to the ridiculous with “Maybe you’ll be pink. Maybe you’ll be a lizard. Maybe you’ll be invisible.”

    Cracking me up! I never really thought about that part of Heaven before. I love the way kids think about stuff.
