Cameron and heaven

10-21-93
God truly works in mysterious ways. Like through the mouths of babes on the way home from gymnastics. I think a beautiful fall sky filled with clouds from a cold front moving in prompted this evening’s discussion.

“Where’s heaven, Mom?”
“Up beyond the sky.”
“But where Mom?”
“Past outer space.”
“How high Mom?”
“Too high Cameron.”
“How do I get there?”
“Well, I hope not for a long time, but God will pick your time.”
“But how do I get there?”

Before this time we had discussed the difference between our body and our soul due to Cameron’s passing interest in cemeteries. “Our soul goes up in heaven to be with Jesus”.
“But can I wear my tennis shoes?”
“You probably won’t.”
“But what will I wear?”
“A long white gown and wings.”
“How do I get wings?”
“God will fit you with your very own pair when He’s ready.”
“But what can we do up there? Will you go with me, Mom?”
“We don’t really know what you do because no one can come back to tell us. I know that you will have many friends there though.”
“Can we play, Mom—what do they have to play with?”
“Not toys like you have now, but you’ll have other things to do. Maybe you could play hide and seek.”
“Oh Mom—I’ve got a great idea. We could bounce on the clouds.”

What a nice thing to remember when I see a beautiful cloud formation……….Cameron’s bouncing clouds.
