Overheard in the Odyssey

On our way to grab some dinner In the van the other night, we were talking to the boys about how God lives in heaven. We tried to explain a few things about heaven on their level. Here’s a snipit of the conversation that followed:

____________________________________________

     Clark: I don’t wanna go to heaven.

     Daddy: Oh yes you do, Buddy!

     Clark: Not today! I wanna eat food.

____________________________________________

     Brooks: Isaac, You love Jesus?

     Isaac: Yeah.

     Brooks: Brooks loves Jesus too!

____________________________________________

It brings so much joy to my heart to hear my children, even in their simplistic conversations talking about Jesus.  My prayer is that these conversations are only the beginning…

 My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandment with you; keep my commandments and live;keep my teaching as the apple of your eye; bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.” Proverbs 7:1-3 (ESV)
