A child's perspective of heaven

(1/3) > >>

John:
The following is a conversation between my almost 3 year old granddaughter, Caroline Rose, and her mother, my daughter Carrie.  Please bear in mind that my daughter and her family are members of the Catholic church and therefore have a different view of religious matters.
Caroline:  Mommy, where is God?
Mommy:  In heaven
Caroline:  Mommy is my great mother (great grandmother) in heaven?
Mommy:  Yes
Caroline:  Mommy, great mother was sick and went to heaven?
Mommy:  Yes
Caroline:  Mommy, our dog Georgie is sick, will he go to heaven?
Mommy:  Yes
Caroline:  Mommy, is Shelly's baby in heaven?  (Carrie's friend had a miscarriage).
Mommy:  Yes, Aunt Shelly's baby was sick and went to heaven.
Caroline:  Mommy, is God sick?  Is that why He's in heaven?
Mommy:  No, God lives there and takes care of the people who are sick and come to Him.
Caroline:  Mommy, when I get sick will I go to heaven?
Mommy:  I hope not for a very, very long time!

What a perfect deduction little Caroline made, considering what she was told! ;D   I love the innocent and unpretentious questions and responses that young children say. :)

Isn't is sad that heaven is so generic that all loved one's and even pets go there when they die but the "lost people" are doomed to eternal torture??
Makes one want to be a pet, for eternal security! (in jest)

Duane, Your above statement regarding " The Pet " is so true and consistent regarding a Male's deductive reasoning and even Caroline Rose(John"s Grand Daughter). Young innocent ones haven't been deceived long enough to just give "Pet" answers(No Pun intended),  ;D, like Adults. I remember a relative of mine stating a certain Dog of theirs going to Heaven recently, but Wicked Humans supposedly are less apt to get an opportunity, like this Dog. An Analytical Mind takes this to it's foregone conclusion and it doesn't make a lick of sense.  ::).

                                     Kind Regards, Samson.
