A couple days ago Jayda and I were on our way to Rapid. As we were driving by the National Cemetery where my Grandpa is buried, I told Jayda, "maybe we'll stop on our way home and see where Grandpa is buried." Then I pointed to the cemetery and tried to explain what the headstones were. She looked over at me and said, "We get to drive to HEAVEN?"
Then I cried for the next 10 miles and tried to keep my car on the road.
We then went into an in depth conversation about how your body is put in a casket {box} and buried in the ground, but your soul and your spirit go to heaven to be with Jesus. "What's a soul? What's a spirit? How does Jesus get them out of you? Does it hurt?"
Oh boy.
I'm terrible at explaining these things. Hey, how about we talk about tornado's again?
No
OK, Uhm your soul and spirit are what live in your heart and tell you to love Jesus and follow His word. They make you who you are.
"So he takes your heart out when you die?"
Well, in a less gruesome way, yes.
So, where should we eat lunch?
"I miss my old Grandpa and the old days."
Me too honey. We all do.
My four year old misses the "old days!" How funny is that.
