Are you ready to die?
We are eating lunch last week and Selah randomly pops a question (she takes after me there 
. “Mom, it’s taking a LONG time to die isn’t it?” I am surprised a bit by her question and ask, “You want to die sooner?” Selah: “Yes, I really want to see what heaven looks like and the house that is there for me. That’s why I want to die right now” she states matter of factly. I think a bit (I get a bit sad) and say, “We would miss you.” She says, “Well, after I play with my presents for a long time, then I will die.”(she just turned 5 Then she adds, “I will die whenever God wants.” That sounded better to me. …and we sure had a good conversation after that question!
Oh, those eyes! She looks so much like you.
The questions and thoughts these little people have. It is precious.
She has a special spot in the heart of God, with that attitude, if we could all keep that faith as we grow older. I played her memorization of Romans 3:21,22&23&24 at Bible study yesterday…they had just studied those verses in their home church…the LOVED it!
That is very sweet, Kari!
