Heaven is For Real

Have you ever heard of it? BEST. BOOK. EVER. All I can say is I have read a many a books and this one is the only one (so far) that reached blog-worthy status. Recently, a very sweet, generous family in our community faced immense tragedy. In a terrible car accident, 2 of their 4 young children were killed along with their sweet grandmother. Talk about shaking a community...whoa. Anyway, the children attended the same private school my younger brother attends, my cousins teach, and one of my cousins is the assistant administrator. Needless to say, it was close to home. My cousin, Misty, and I were discussing the loss this family must be feeling and how only God can comfort them.

I sobbed for this mother because I cannot fathom how she most feel today, yesterday, and on October 21st. Heartbroken? Empty? Anyway, much prayers for this family is appreciated. I digress....Misty, a strong christian woman that I look up to, suggested I read this book.

She told me it would be tearful at parts and at others I'd be laughing. She was right! Misty is a mother to two precious boys herself. She said she read it to her boys and her husband while traveling this summer. She told me how her youngest child, he's 6, asked at one part if his dad could take over because mom just keeps on cryin'!

Anyway, I highly recommend this book. I have fallen in love with little Colten and I obviously know nothing about him...other than this story of course.It makes me ready to meet Jesus and stare into his beautiful eyes. I will say, reading this book revolutionized my daily walk. I don't fear death.
