Heaven

Today my 5 year old asked me what heaven is.

Wow, I said, that's a really big question.

And then I tried to think about what I wanted to say him.

I told him that some people think that heaven is where God and the angels live, and that may be true, but that I think that God is all around us and always with us.

Before I could say anything else this is what he said:

I think that heaven is when God loves us. And Jesus too. And when we love God and Jesus and other people.

That sounds like heaven to me.

Amen.
