God in Heaven

Ella:  Mommy, why do you always look to the sky when you talk about heaven and God?

Mom:  I don't know.  I guess because when we die, we live with God in heaven, and usually we talk about heaven being above us, so I think of the sky.

Ella:  What is heaven like?  Will we live in the sky?

Mom:  I guess I won't really know until I'm in heaven.

Ella:  Well, I'm not going there--to heaven.

Mom:  I think you'll go to heaven one day.

Virginia:  I'm not going to heaven either.  I'll hide from God.

Ella:  You can't hide from God.  He sees you everywhere.  But you can play with him.

Virginia:  Mommy, which toys can I play with God?

Ella:  You play with God in your imagination.

Virginia:  No.  I don't want to play in my imagination.  I want to play with toys.

Ella:  Okay, lets go . . .
