There has been much discussion in our home lately about whether or not there will be sleeping in heaven. I tend to think we will not need to sleep because we will not be physical beings. Also, God doesn't sleep. However, my husband is fond of sleeping and hopes to take naps in heaven. The girls were asking about heaven one day and what their bedtime would be in heaven. I told them we wouldn't have a bedtime in heaven. They got so excited and said they wanted to go to heaven right now. Last night, Emma was having a hard time going to sleep. (She has a birthday to celebrate and is very excited). She came out asking, "why do we have to sleep on earth but not in heaven?" Happy and I told her she needed to go back to bed. (This was already the third time out of bed). As she is trotting off to bed she yells from the hallway, " Yeah, well, I know why we have to sleep on earth....God just doesn't want us to be all tired out when we get up to heaven!"
Honestly, that child cracks me up! I would never have thought of that! Of course, God does not want us to be grouchy and tired when we get up to heaven. We should be all rested up from our sleep here on earth. Makes perfect sense to me!

Hilarious!! That girl is so smart. I love how interested she is in going to heaven too. We all should be that excited! You are doing a wonderful job raising girls who are looking forward to eternity with Jesus. Love you, friend!
She is so funny. Isn't it amazing to see their thought processes? I love having a 4 year old...Is Emma 5 yet?
