Today Thomas said something that followed an idea he described several weeks ago.
One night, at bedtime, Thomas told me "The world is a story Jesus is reading. When he stops reading we will go to heaven." I thought that was so interesting. I immediately thought of "The Word of God" and "the word was with God..." And Jesus was the word.
Tonight on the way back from fall festival, Thomas said, "I wish Jesus would stop reading and I can go to heaven."
We had a good talk. Joanna started, "Thomas the only way you can see God is to die; are you wanting to die?" He said, "No and I asked him why he wanted to go to heaven right now. "I just want to be with God," Thomas explained. He talked a bit more about it and I think he said he wanted to hug him. (He has said this before, too).
So, I told them that Moses saw God in the burning bush. Also they can be with God anytime by praying, or quietly talking to him. God can appear to him in a dream or vision, too. God is with us always because of his Holy Spirit, and yes also some people say Holy Ghost. And he can give you a hug when you are praying or talking to him, too.
Thomas is such a sweet boy and so loving. God protect him from the world and keep him in your word (you).
