Out of the mouths of babes
So yesterday for our bible study I was doing a devotion that was talking about how Jesus is preparing mansions for us from John 14:2
In my father's house there are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and
receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.The devotion asked us to journal about what we thought are mansions are going to be like. When we journal, the four big kids write on their own and I ask the little girls and write it down for them. I try to also journal during this time also just a model. So I'm really getting into describing my house in heaven. I'm going on about a window looking over a sunny meadow and these white curtains blowing in the breeze. And a big open kitchen with a big farm table with lots of people around it. As I'm going on about these white curtains ( Ok. I do admit this is beginning to sound like a wish list of what I would like my earthly home to be like) Abby (who is 5) comes up to me so I can write her discription down.
What my house in heaven will look like.
It has God and Jesus and Treasure.
Satan tries to get the treasure.
God's treasure is Love.
My house is beautiful because it has God's Love.

My house is beautiful because it has God's Love.
I asked her if she wanted to write anymore. And she said "Nope- That's all I need."
I think she is pretty right on. I'll take God's love anyday over my white curtains blowing in a breeze.
