We're having Broccoli Cheese soup (a recipe for another post) which is their FAVorite, otherwise I have NO idea where this conversation began. I think it was Luke.
Luke: I hope there is Broccoli Cheese soup in heaven.
Grace: Me too!
Luke: I'm going to have it every day in my mansion.....(pause for thoughts processing) I'm going to have a BIG party with all of my ancestors and papa and the angels and everyone!
I'm going to have a Big room full of video games! And another room full of every kind of Nerf gun there is! And I'll live right next to Shawn! (his cousin/buddy...see bday post below) or Jason Witten! (Dallas Cowboys tight end, see his testimony here) Do you have to share your mansion with anyone?
Me: Jesus just said "I'll go to prepare a place for you." He didn't really give us any more details. But I'm sure you can share if you want to.
Grace: (wheels turning) I'll share a room with Moriah. And Kyra! (BFF in TX) ....You can't take stuff with you to heaven. (this still must be an issue with my blankey-loving girl.)
Luke: I'll have a BIG Bible and I can turn it's huge pages and watch it like a TV!
Me: (amazed at his imagination, but...) Well in heaven you won't need the Bible because you can talk to God anytime you want. And He can talk to you!
Grace: I'm going to ask God to live in my mansion with me. (aw.)
Luke: God's too big! He can't live in your mansion!
Grace: Well Jesus can. Is Mary going to be there? I want to meet her.
Luke: I want to meet Luke.
I wish I could remember it all, but somewhere in there I was shocked to hear this....
Luke: I want one of my rooms to be full of girls.
Me: GIRLS????
Luke: Yeah, like supermodels everywhere!
Me: (thinking Oh my gosh!) Are you kidding me? (staring at him in horror, I'm sure)
Luke: What? It's my dream!
Me: Praying silently as I walk away to breathe....Oh dear Lord, my child just turned into a teenager and he's only 11.
