Questions about Heaven....

Explaining death to a three-year-old is not easy.

Where is Heaven? Is it far away? Can we go there?

These are questions that I answer almost daily since my uncle Dennis died. Chandler had really started to develop a bond with his uncle Dennis, and doesn't understand that he won't see him again, and the questions continue.

Here's some wisdom I thought I'd share with you.

Chandler: Mommy, did you know Jesus lives in our hearts?
Me: Yes, sweetie he does.
Chandler: Not really though mommy. Jesus is really in heaven. He's there with uncle Dennis. Do you know why?
Me: No, why?
Chandler: Because if Jesus wasn't there, uncle Dennis would be lonely.

Such a lovely thought....
