Kylie's Questions about Heaven

This past weekend my husband and I were talking to Kylie about the lord and heaven. She wanted to know how you get to heaven. Kirk and I were telling her on her level so she would understand, and she understood more than I thought she would. She still keeps asking why do we have to stay in heaven forever, after we die. She just tells us she wants to be able to come back home and live with mommy and daddy. Then she said " Mommy where will we all sleep"? And I told her that "Jesus has really big beds there for everyone and there bigger than mommy and daddy's bed." She looks at me with really big eyes and says "really, that's awesome". There was silence for a few minutes and then she comes and asks me " well what if we get bored in heaven "? I told her " Kylie there will be no time in heaven to be bored, we'll be with Jesus". She looked at me with her hands in the air and said " come on mom like Jesus is gonna want to play with me and Cyrus everyday ", I looked at her as serious as can be and could not help but laugh. I just told her " I bet he will ". After that she walked away for a few minutes and came back and asked me " ok where are we gonna eat mom"? I told her "we'll be eating a feast with Jesus at really big table", and then she says " yeah like that table is gonna be big enough for everybody to eat at once". I just started laughing. After that she left me alone about the heaven thing. She still asks questions everyday. She always comes up with something. Yesterday she said " I don't want to die just to go to heaven, that would be silly". I said " why not heaven is a much better place than here". She finally asked " ok if I want to go to heaven than what do I have to do"? We told her you have to pray and ask Jesus into your heart, and she asked how do I do that, so we had her repeat what we said and she thought that was the greatest thing that she asked Jesus into her heart and went around telling everyone.

Red Seedless Grape Scare

This morning as I was getting Elijah dressed, Kylie was in the kitchen I wasn't really sure what she was doing. As I'm on the livingroom floor dressing the , she comes walking towards me and I noticed her face looking a porcelain colored and then she started pointing to her throat and I realized she was choking on something and not sure what. I grab her and started hitting her back and nothing happened. I tried getting it out and tried the heimlich on her over and over and still nothing by this time I'm calling 911 and still trying. While on the phone with 911 Kylie was completely blue and she collapsed on the floor and she had no heartbeat and wasn't breathing. I'm panicking!! I tried picking her up to do the heimlich on her again and she's so limp, it was like she was dead. I tried the heimlich again a few more times, still on the phone with 911 and finally I got the food out, and found out that it was a big red seedless grape and it was whole. I got her up and she started crying and of course I was crying. She said her throat and tummy hurt. The ambulance was already on its way and the 911 dispatcher said since she's so young we still have to come and make sure she's okay. After a few minutes on the phone she asked me if I was okay for her to let me go and I told her yes. After getting of the phone I was still upset and crying, I almost lost my little girl. My husband was at work and his boss went to get him and bring him home, and then my in laws showed up, everyone was so worked up. When the ambulance got here they checked her all over and said her oxygen was 100% and her blood pressure was good. They said it was up to us whether they took her to the hospital since she was okay. We said if she got worse and if anything else happened we would take her to the doctor. Once the Ambulance crew left Kylie told me and Nana that she can't be killed yet, because she wasn't ready to go to heaven. I told her no we're not ready for you to go to heaven either. I'm so thankful she's okay and that she's still here with us. The lord is on our side.
