Telephone Line to Heaven

Running errands this afternoon listening to a song on the radio that had “Heaven” in it:

Sarah: Mama, what does Heaven look like?

Mama: Well, I don’t know Sarah. I haven’t been there yet, but the Bible says it has streets paved of gold.

Livvie: I know what we could do! We could build a phone that will reach all the way up to Heaven, and then we could call and ask what it looks like!

Sarah: Yeah! We could call up there and then when Jesus or God answers, we could ask Him if we could talk to your Mama and Daddy’s Mama, and they could tell us what it looks like!

Livvie: Yeah! That would be so cool! Mama, is that armadillo we saw on the side of the road yesterday in Heaven?

Mama: Livvie, have I ever told you the story about the Rainbow Bridge?....

These girls never cease to amaze me. Not sure if these railroad tracks lead to Heaven, but Sarah spotted them and thought the flowers growing in between would make a pretty picture. And I’m sure there’s someone that armadillo will be waiting for near the Rainbow Bridge. After all, God loves all creatures great and small…even smelly and armored.

Oh I love that photo of the rail road tracks and flowers overgrown! I think Sarah must have that "eye" for photography. Simply beautiful! Have a great weekend Kelly!
