Just Like Heaven

Our intuitive, much loved children's minister has graciously created weekly "Children's Bulletins"---making the occasionally lofty Sunday morning subject matter more accessible to developing spiritual minds. This past week, our service was an interpretation of Faure's Requiem---in fond remembrance of those who've passed in the year past. Heady content, even for adults. During the hour, I glanced down at Darren's program, where he was furiously writing a response to the prompt "What Do You Think Heaven Looks Like?" His interpretation moved quickly from the superficial to the sublime.

Transcribed: "The streets are paved with gold. Everyone is friends. Everyone has a home. Everyone has what they need and want. It has everlasting peace."

To his wisdom and succinct insight, superceding my own, I say a heartfelt "Amen."

Also reminiscent of heaven for our family today? A clean set of CT scans for Double Daddy...his first since the recurrence in November. Next on deck, a proactive course of radiation. Again, I say, Amen!

Also playing along with the lovely Cecily of Photo Story Friday and Lolli of Better in Bulk's Gimme Your Best Shot Friday (it's not every day I photograph the church bulletin!) They're fantastic Mamas, Fishful Thinkers in philosophy, and over all great gals. :) Go join in the double (the only way we do things in our house) fun!
