Yesterday I finished the book “Heaven is for Real.” Wow, this is a “must-read.” I’ve been pondering it all day. I plan to read it aloud to the rest of the family starting tonight. I’m so glad heaven is for real! For those of you that have already read the book, you'll remember the little boy's constantly telling his parents that "Jesus loves children." I was so challenged, and I hope, changed by that. I want to love children (not just my own) but all children, the way Jesus does. For some reason, the Lord keeps bringing children (and teenagers) into our home, we'll have an extra person at our table every evening this week. My goal - to love them and to provide a place where they feel safe and secure!
