Heaven

so the other day i was sitting at the table and my, now 4 year old, little boy came and sat across from me.

Him: "mommy, i don't want to go to heaven."

he had abviously been thinking it through.

Me: "why not?"

Him: "because there might be scary things there."

M: "there aren't scary things in heaven."

Him: "Well, there might be some there and I don't want to go if there's scary things."

M: "Heaven is where God and Jesus live and they won't have scary things there.  When you're in heaven there won't be anything to scare you anymore."

Him: "there might be big dogs and big cats."

M: "honey, if God wants big dogs and big cats in heaven then you'll like them, not be scared of them.

 do you know who lives in heaven now?"

Him: "God and Jesus."

M: "Great Grandpa is also there."

Him: "Maybe when i go to heaven i can visit Great grandpa."

I think he'd like that.
