It is often that Noah will ask us: "Can I go to heaven and play with Wyatt and Jesus?"
I think it is interesting how in his spirit he knows it is somehow better to be in heaven then to ask for Wyatt to come back here. Too be honest I still struggle with this concept. I would love to go to heaven and be with those I love there but then I would miss those I love here. I feel torn. So basically it pushs me to pray and prepare the way for Jesus to come back more because then we will all be together.
On Wyatt's birthday, Noah asked this and Paul said what are you going to do when you see him, are you going to tackle him?" Noah said, "Yes and then I am going to tackle Jesus and they will laugh".
So the other morning we were having breakfast and here was our dialogue
Noah: Mama, when I was laying in my bed I had a dream
Me: What kind of dream?
Noah: A Jesus loves me dream
Me: Did you see Jesus
Noah: Yes
Me: What was He wearing?
Noah: He was wearing purple
Me: Was He happy or sad?
Noah: He was sad because the soldiers were going to take him away and have him die on the cross, then He took my hand and we went into this big barn. Their were horses and lots of toys there.
Me: Did you see anyone else in the barn?
Noah: Yes Wyatt was there and we were playing with Buzz, Woody, Bullseye and Jessie
That is all of the dream I can remember of what he said for right now. Paul said Noah told him some other things too later on maybe he will add them on the comments.
But what really stands out to me that I didn't even put together until Tom said it is that the Lord answered his desire to play with Wyatt in heaven by giving him a dream about it.

how beautiful! what a loving L-rd we serve. and how precious are the dreams of children. sometimes Lily will tell me of a dream and I know now to listen very carefully ;)
Noah also said that Wyatt asked Noah where his momma was. Noah said he didn't know, and so they went looking for her. Wyatt took Noah's hand, and they flew away - leaving that "place" and flying all the way to Noah's house. Momma (Lauren) wasn't home. So the two boys flew to Grandma's house (Mike and DeAnn), and Lauren was hiding in the basement. They found her though! And then Wyatt and Noah played sword fights! This was their favorite thing to do, especially at Grandma's house.
The neat part is that Noah had been saying for a few days that he really missed playing swords with Wyatt, and he wanted to do that with him again. :)

How tender and precious! We talk about heaven a lot with our kids. I think that it helps them make sense of the world, because they instinctively know that things aren't the way they are supposed to be. So it's a wonderful hope to know there will be a place to live in some day that will be perfectly the way things are supposed to be.
Lauren, thanks so much for sharing that. it really touched my heart.
