Is it my turn?

Almost every day Jacob has taken to asking me if it is his trun to go to Heaven. It started a few months ago and I can't remember why. He is extremely excited to go to Heaven and be with "God and Jesus". He has named all the people that he knows that we have told him are in Heaven and is glad he will see them there. He also asked me if Heaven is red and I asked if he wanted it to be red and he said yes. I can tell that he has really put some good, three-year-old thought into it. This is such a good example of how I need to be like a child, not afraid of the unknown, but looking foreward to what has been promised as a wonderous place. I am glad I have this great reminder of where I need to lay up my treasures. It is also a reminder of who my children really belong to, they are wonderful loaners that I was blessed with, but they will be called back home just like every other child of God.

I tell him that it is not his turn yet and that he won't need me to tell him when Jesus calls his name. You may be wondering why he really wants to go to Heaven; Daddy told him that he wouldn't have to take naps there!
