Kids Get It
So Caleb comes out of his bedroom this morning holding a piece of paper.
Caleb: I found this in my pocket, I forgot about it. (See picture below)
Me: Did you make that in Cubbies this week?
Caleb: Yeah, it says Micah.
Me: Is it a picture of heaven?
Caleb: Yes, they told us to draw a picture of heaven.
Me: So you drew Micah because he is in heaven?
Caleb: Yep, Sue told me how to spell it. But, I got my "h" a little messed up I couldn't remember what an "h" looked like!
And with that, he went on with his day like it was no big deal. In his world, heaven is very real and his brother is there, end of story. The amazing thing is, two seconds before he came out with that picture I was thinking about Micah because the song "Untitled Hymn" came on. That was a song sung at Micah's funeral. So here we are listening to this song, which always makes us stop and think about our little guy and Caleb comes out with a reminder that we'll be reunited with him one day soon. God is good! and I am so goad he made kids so smart!

1) Simon wants to just go there
2) Simon wants to ask Jesus to give someone back to us
I don't think that we're nearly as close to "getting it" as you are! :)
