Grandmother goes to heaven

I heard a story about a woman that died. She woke up in a strangely beautiful place. She was standing on streets made of pure gold, so clear you could almost see through them. She saw, to her right, a river and it glowed as if it was alive. She was looking at the many huge houses ahead, when she heard someone call her name. "Ruth", her name was Ruth, "Ruth over here." As she looked she thought she saw here best friend; Naomi, that had past away many years before. Sure enough that was her. She ran to see her and they embraced with a hug. Naomi, pulled Ruth’s hand and said come on hurry, as Ruth was almost running to stay up with Naomi, Naomi stopped. She led Ruth inside a beautiful House. This house had all the things Ruth had dreamed of owning. The pretty picture She could never afford, and the oak dinette set that her Mom had left her long ago. There were so many things, but best of all, there were all of the friends she had known and missed for so many years. It was like a reunion with everyone she cared about. Then she saw her, Ruth’s Mom was coming down the stairs, when they saw each other they ran and hugged for the longest time. They had finally been reunited. Ruth told her Mom how she loved her house, and her Mom said, "This isn’t my house". This puzzled Ruth and she ask" Well then whose is it… Ruth’s Mom laughed as she told her the house belonged to Ruth. Ruth was so excited and wanted to know how long she got to stay in such a great place. All her friends were happy to tell Ruth she could stay FOREVER.

Ask the boys and girls if they would like to go to heaven one day. When they say they would explain how they can; and lead them in a prayer.
