When I first learned that one needs to be like children in order to get to heaven, I thought it a figure of speech.

Many years and three daughters later, I understand that this is as true as saying there is a sun in the sky.

But more than that, I found the kids to be. gift from heaven sent down to teach us about it.

If I were to build a heaven it would be a lovely place. Everybody would love each other. They would be wise, innocent and considerate of each other. It would be a funny place as well, with people pulling each other' legs all the time.

People there would be pretty smart. They would know lots of things without the need of a school. They would just know them and everything would be clearcut.

People would speak their minds, but their thoughts would be so pure they would never offend.
