Heaven is for real! Part 2

I could hardly put the book down. Little Colton Burpo went to heaven and now he's telling his parents all about his experiences. Of course it's in a 4-year old voice because he is almost 4 years old. Colton's appendix burst and he wasn't treated for it for 5 days. He died for a little while; three minutes he said.

Can you imagine your little son telling you that he saw Jesus and that Jesus had markers on him? His dad was floored. Here is the conversation:

"Well, what color are Jesus' markers?"

"Red, Daddy. Jesus has red markers on him."

At that moment, my throat nearly closed with tears as I suddenly understood what Colton was trying to say. Quietly, carefully, I said, "Colton, where are Jesus' markers?"

Without hesitation, he stood to his feet. He held out his right hand, palm up and pointed to the center of it with his left. Then he held out his left palm and pointed with his right hand. Finally, Colton bent over and pointed to the tops of both his feet.

"That's where Jesus' markers are, Daddy," he said.

Colton's dad had never spoken to him about these wounds and they did not have a crucifix with Jesus on it in their house or church. He had to have seen it.

Wow! This book is something else! I'd recommend it to anyone.
