My Secret: Part 2

3/4/23

So, I guess the next questions are what is this book she is going to write and how did she get the idea?  Let's go back about 14 years to when I got some tragic news. After being given one year to live, my father was sent to hospice to be made comfortable in his last days here on earth. As I sat with my father while he was still alert and lucid, we had some great conversations. One of them was fear, fear of what was on the other side. He was fearful that Heaven may not exist and that what he had believed in may not be the reality.  My father had these doubts as I think anyone would have on their deathbed, but even as he had these doubts, he was still sharing God and the promise of Heaven with those around him.  During the three weeks that followed those conversations, I had a lot of time to think. I found myself thinking about Heaven a lot. Thinking of my dad being in Heaven gave me the peace that I needed to get through those painful days. My knowledge of Heaven was pretty limited, and I hate to admit it, but somewhat childlike.  So, I dug in, read some books, led a bible study about Heaven, and thought about it constantly. Somewhere in there, God laid on my heart an idea for a children's book. I found a notebook and I jotted a few notes down and forgot about it.  Every few years, another part of the book would be revealed to me, and I would add to it in my notebook.  This kept going until I eventually had a book.  So, to answer the questions, my book is about Heaven, and it was inspired by my dad and our conversations, but the content of the book was given to me by my God.  What are your thoughts about Heaven?
