Heaven

Savannah just can't wrap her head around the concept of Heaven. It seems like every day there is a conversation about Heaven that leaves her puzzled and me without the perfect answers. As I am driving this evening, Savannah asks:

"Can you take your toys with you to Heaven?"

"I don't know sweetie."

"Why don't you know?"

"Because I have never been there."

"Well, just call Heaven and see if we can? Just call Mary and Joseph, they will be able to tell you."

"They don't have phones in Heaven."

"Just give Mary your cell phone. Let her borrow it so she can talk on it."

"I don't think that is going to work."

"But Mommy, I need to know if I can take Bunny to Heaven."


Between the questions about eating and sleeping in Heaven and Savannah telling us we can keep something forever ("You can even take it with you to Heaven) I am at a loss of how to explain the unexplainable. Can someone please tell me how to explain Heaven to a four year old because this Mommy doesn't seem to have all the answers?
