Heaven is for Real

So, I just finished reading Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo.  WOW!  I loved this book.  It was so inspiring and life changing.  I was raised Catholic and believed in God and heaven since I was little.  But this made everything so real and vivid in my mind.  The details and the images portrayed through Colton's eyes made me wish for that childlike innocence again.  I have been struggling lately, and this brought everything alive in me again and made me realize the importance of life.  How great is it though, that when we die, we get to spend eternity in heaven with God and Jesus.  I loved that Colton's sister was in heaven, even though she had been miscarried at two months.  The animals, angels, colors, and lights in heaven just filled my heart with love.  I could not believe how much this story touched me.  In the philosophy class that I am in, we are talking about the soul and whether or not animals have one.  After reading this book, I truly believe that they do and that in heaven I will be my best self and be reunited with my family.  My grandma died five and a half years ago.  I think about her all of the time and how much I miss her.  But when I die, and if I go to heaven, I know that I will see her again.  I know that we will be reunited and I won't have to be sad anymore.  I cannot wait to see heaven for myself and experience an eternity with God!
