My Grandpa passed away in Feb. 2010 and we went to see my Grandma last week for the first time since he has been gone. In the bathroom on our way to Grandmas Payton asked me where Grandpa was!? I told him he was up in heaven with Jesus now. Payton replied "I want to go there!" (So sweet) And another woman in the stall next to us chuckled and said "Well, not today honey!" Hahaha. It sure got his wheels turning though.
So we have been back home now for a few days and at dinner last night Payton asked me again about Grandpa being in heaven with Jesus. I confirmed that "Yes, Grandpa is up in heaven with Jesus." And Payton says, well I want to go too!" So I told him "Well, we have to pray and ask Jesus to forgive us for our sins so we can go to heaven." (It was all I could think of to say, and we haven't really talked a lot about this yet.) Payton went back to eating for a bit, and then out of the blue said "Lets pray then!" (I had a feeling he didn't QUITE get what I meant...but I wanted to see where he was with all of this.) So, I said OK buddy...go ahead and pray. This is how it went:
Payton: Dear Jesus, thank you for our food, bless it to our bodies, AMEN!!!
He then proceeded by throwing his hands in the air and said, "Lets' go to heaven now!!!" :)
It was the sweetest thing and totally made me laugh! It also made me SUPER excited about talking to him more about our Jesus and Lord!
