Our true home.

Tonight while driving home:

Lillie: I miss my godparents. (Her godparents are Uncle Matt and his late wife, Megan who died almost 4 years ago.)

Me: Lillie, we saw Uncle Matt all weekend.

Lillie: No, I miss my godmother. The girl Uncle Matt married first.

Me: We all miss her!

Lillie: I can't wait to see her.

Me: When will you see her?

Lillie: When God calls me home.

These conversations are always beautiful. I truly got an instant lump in my throat at her last comment. She said it so plainly, so beautifully. I, too, get a little anxious when they talk this way because I always think, "Are you trying to tell me something?" I must remember that we all will be called home. What confidence she has!

  1. I always have such a mix of feelings when the boys talk so plainly like that. I'm glad they love the concept of going to heaven...as long as I go first...isn't that how every mother and father thinks :-). Happy New Year!
