Night,Night Blessings

As a parent, I am always on the look out for children's books that are not only educational but entertaining as well. Night, night blessings is a cheerful, simple, lovable volume, that takes you on a child's usual day, from breakfast with pancakes, to playing with pets, to good night kisses. And each moment is something to be thankful for. The book not only makes us realize how precious time is to our children, but also teaches them to be grateful for even the simplest things.
My daughter is a bundle of energy, and getting her to sleep is sometimes a struggle. Reading her this book at night serves to round up her day's adventure. And makes both mom and daughter happy and thankful for night, night blessings.

Heaven is For Real

We all have our idea of what heaven is like. It could be a vision of pearly gates opening to fluffy white clouds , or a shimmering beach front with waves that go on forever as a warm breeze tickles our cheeks. We all believe heaven is real. But what if someone tells you right in front of your face, that ' yes, it is real, and I've seen it with my very own eyes.'
Colton Burpo's a-matter-of-fact declarations of his experience in heaven serves to shake the very core of every believer. Sure, we all believe it exists, but when given indelible proof that IT IS THERE, whose faith would not be moved? When you see a child holding on to a dying man's hand, reassuring him that he has no reason to be afraid, that Jesus will be waiting on the other end, wouldn't your knees buckle and your world tilt?
I am an ordinary Christian, with my own idea of faith, my moments of doubts, my vague ideas of heaven and life thereafter. Colton's candor in saying that angels do sing, that swords are present in heaven, that Jesus has the prettiest eyes, made me look deep into my heart and reassess all that I have held to be true. He has no reason to make up stories, he has no motive to create fantasies. He is back from Jesus' arms to make us realize that He is around.
It is a must read for anyone who has believed, seeks to believe and wants others to believe that heaven is for real.
