I overheard them talking while they’re playing some game.

Gage: Dad do you think our dogs will go to heaven too?

Gary: I do. I have no doubt.

Gage: how do we know for sure there’s a heaven?

Gary: Well, you just know it when you know it, just like you know you’re breathing or that the world is turning. I feel it in my soul that my home is with Christ. Grandma and lots of people are waiting there for us. I have felt Grandma visit me. I know that Jesus is alive because he is in me. He’s in you too.

Gage: I believe it. I feel it too.

Gary: Good. Don’t ever let the world or the people around you convince you otherwise. Keep that relationship strong. I wish I’d had that as a young man. I would have made better choices, but now I can help to guide you when you have questions and we can both lean on Jesus together.
