In the last couple days, I just finished reading "Heaven is for Real" by Todd Burpo. It is a true story about an almost four year old boy, Colton, who had a heavenly encounter while he was being operated on in surgery. His details of Jesus and heaven are amazing for a 3 year old to have. Not to mention, he meets his sister who he never knew he had because his parents had a miscarriage but didn't tell him and his "pop" his dad's grandfather who he never knew on earth. He also give accurate details of where and what his parents were doing while he was in surgery because he saw them when he was being taken up to heaven. Without going into too much detail, the book is encouraging, hopeful, and refreshing. On a different note, the book was extrememly hard for me to read since my four year old nephew went to be with the Lord last May. In the book, the little boy's sister's name is even Cassie, which is Wyatt's sister's name too. At times it was good to hear about the things in heaven but on the other hand I wish Wyatt was like this little boy who had a powerful heavenly encounter with the Lord but was still here. I knew it would be a hard read but I decided to go ahead and do it.
