Conversations about Heaven

The other day, Flynn & I had a pretty intense conversation about HEAVEN. I think she's actually excited about going. Right now, how we came about conversing with such a mature topic, escapes me.
She asked if we just lay there & 'sleep' at the hospital, after we die.
"No, I'm pretty sure right then & there we go to heaven."
"So, does Jesus come down & get us?"
"I'm not sure....maybe an angel escorts us up there."
She squealed (a strong fondness of angels).
"So, the angel takes us up throught the clouds?"
"Yep, and there you wait for the other people you love to join you. So, if Momma were to die first, I'd wait there for you....and dad...and Bubs...."
"So, if I die, I wait there. If Bubby dies first, he waits there."
"Yep." (altho, not thrilled with thinking about such things).

"Flynn, heaven is going to be so wonderful. Guess what? In heaven, you WON'T be allergic to ANYTHING!!"

She got a huge grin on her face. All the while, I'm praying that she gets to experience such freedom BEFORE heaven.

"Do we have to die to get to heaven?"

"Probably. BUT, there is a chance that you'll be here on earth when Jesus comes back for everyone. And everyone here on earth, still alive, will have the chance to go back with Him...to heaven...if they have Him in their heart. You do, right?"

"Yes."

I didn't get into the whole splitting of the clouds...the trumpet....the graves opening. I figured, that was all a bit heavy for her four year old mentality.

But, we did talk a lot about the clouds.
