In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Kid Quote

Filed under: Elijah, Kid Quote, Kids, Kyra — Rachel at 11:09 am on Friday, June 29, 2007

I just overheard the following conversation between my kids.

Kyra: “Elijah, do you know you can’t go to Heaven?”
Elijah: “Why?”
Kyra: “Cause you’re not saved. You have to get saved to go to Heaven.”
Elijah: “Why?”
Kyra: “If you want to go to Heaven with Mama, you have to get saved.”
Elijah: “Mama’s not going to Heaven!”
Kyra, indignantly: “Uh, huh!!! Cause God lives in her heart!”
Elijah: “Nuh, uh.”
Kyra: “Yes He does, ELIJAH! You have to have God in your heart to go to Heaven.”
Elijah: “Me not have a heart.”
Kyra: “Yes you do, Elijah. You need to get saved. I’m going to get saved pretty soon.”
Elijah: “Nuh, uh.”
Kyra: “Yes, I am. And I’m going to go to Heaven.”
Elijah: “Praise the Lord!”

~~I kid you not about that last thing from Elijah. His VBS teacher had them saying it in their class, and now he randomly says, “Praise the Lord!”

That is so cute!! I just love how children relate and show evidence of God working in there hearts! It goes to show that what we teach our little ones, are indeed seeds planted in their sweet souls…

Have a wonderful day!!
