Heaven

As we were driving to a friend's house yesterday, Ruby was looking out the window at the horses in the pasture. She asked if farmers went to heaven and then how God could get horses up to heaven when they are so big. I told her that our spirit only goes up to heaven and not our body, that our body is what holds our spirit or who we are. That our spirit is inside of us. Our body stays here on earth, but our spirit lives on in heaven. She thought about it for a bit and then said, "So our spirit is inside our heart?" I told her that, yes, that is exactly where it is. Love the way she thinks about things and questions so much right now.

She has been thinking a lot about heaven, espcially since we lost our kitty Morris a month ago. She occasionally will start getting a sad look and try to hold back the tears and then let it all out. It happens mostly when we are in the car it seems. She gets sad when she remembers petting Morris and the moments she snuggled with him. It is hard for her to understand how he could be as happy in heaven without her. Such a sweetie!
