Scene: Lydia and Mommy driving to the store
"Mommy, why are those flowers on the ground there?"
"That's a cemetery. When people die, we put their bodies into the ground."
"Are we going to die?"
Mommy, realizing a teachable moment is fleeting by replies:
"Yes, Lydia. Everybody dies someday. And when we die, our body goes into the ground but we go to live in heaven with Jesus and get a brand new body. If we love Jesus, we get to live in heaven! Isn't that great?!? ... Lydia, do you love Jesus?
....Silence.... and then...
"Mommy, Look! There's a convertible!"
Um, yeh.
"The sparrows jumped before they knew how to fly, and they learned to fly only because they had jumped." –L.O.
