morning talk

Today, in the car on the way to school, Anderson was holding the Barney Fireman DVD case, we have not had the DVD since we came to visit Carmel where we misplaced it.  This triggered remembering all the precious things I have lost along the way.

On the same Carmel trip checking out the area, we also lost Anderson's blue bear that Andrew gave him before he was born.  I am so sentimental and those precious things are so very important to me.  I started naming those very precious things I have lost... my D and A necklace (received for giving birth to the two precious ones), Andrson's birth video, and a journal recording our first months in Maui was stolen in Kuai as I was swinging from a rope swing (seriously). 

So for someone who holds things preciously, I have lost some very important ones and it is hard. I almost have to just let them go in my mind.  But it is also a reminder.  The verse came to me and I shared it with Dev and Bobo on the way to school, "Do not store up treasures on earth...but in heaven..."  Now I know it is not bad to have special memory things, but they are not the most important on either side of heaven. 

This lead Anderson to some thoughts on heaven....

"Is there a parking lot in heaven?"  Bobo asked.

"I am going to deliver cupcakes to God"  He added.

"Why didn't God tell us more about heaven in the Bible?"  Deveraux asked.

"Will we bring our car to heaven?" she wanted to know

Good Morning Talk....
