On this anniversary celebrating the day you got to see Jesus face to face, I find myself thinking of you and even more so thinking of heaven. What's it like? What are you like? Are you a bounding 4 1/2 year old continuing to explore and discover? Do you have favorite places that you like to go? What do you play? What do you sing? Do you just get to sit in the warmth of His light and listen to songs of heaven all around you? Do you dance? Do you go explore? What are you learning? What does it feel like? Does time pass or does it feel like a day and an eternity at the same time? Can you see little sister and little brother? Do you know who little brother is before we do? What are your gifts and talents? Mama is reading a big long book about heaven, and it fills me with so many questions and so much longing. And I always think of you. There. In it. Experiencing it. And I can't wait for you to take me by the hand and show me around and introduce me to all your friends and angels you have met. Oh Sweetheart, sometimes it's hard to remember that heaven is really real. But it is. I'm going there someday, and I can't wait. In a blink it'll happen, and my eyes will look wide-eyed for Jesus and for you. I'll finally be home. Forever.
Kisses and Love Sweet Girl.
I John 5:11-13
"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."

Heather,
I love this blog entry. I can just picture Payton singing to Jesus :) Thinking of you lots and praying for you this week.
Love and miss you,

Beautiful...I too have so many of the same thoughts. I wonder if Payton and Trent ever play together? What a day it will be when we get to hold our little ones again, forever!
It will be amazing when we are all there together and no longer have to imagine how wonderful it must be. I think of your sweet girl often.
Love you!
Sara
