Lightening Strike to Heaven

 

The other morning I instructed my children (6 yr. and 8 yr.) to finish their copy work while I exercised on the elliptical. They asked if they could color when they were through. Sure, anything to help keep them busy while I got in my work out.  Little did I know while I sweated away, they toiled on a “book.”

Grace (6) came to me first and showed me her story that grandma helped her write out. About a girl in a storm getting hit by lightening, dying and going to heaven. “Lightening Strike to Heaven,” she called it. I admit, at first I was disturbed about the content. Especially when I saw the picture of the little skeleton girl floating to heaven. Then I saw the page when she got to heaven. And well, I’ll just let you decide!

Lightening Strike to Heaven
by Grace Conroy

One stormy day when I was in the storm.

 

I was struck by lightening. I turned into a skeleton.

 

I went up to heaven, and I saw people rising to heaven with me.

 

 At night time I was nervous. I didn’t know where I was,
and I didn’t know who was standing next to me.

 

 

Then I realized it was Jesus.

 

And at morning Jesus showed me around.

 

At night time, me and Jesus looked at the stars.

 

Then she wrote, ” Did you like the story?”

 Read my devotional that was inspired by this story.
