When you were born, what if God asked you to return every night in your dreams to build the house you would live in forever and ever...and forever is a long time...

Some children might grow up and dream of a house with a mommy and a daddy... and that would be a beautiful... but tiny little house filled with love...

Some children might visit heaven every night and build a house with enough room to add rooms for brothers and sisters and maybe even a grandmother and grandfather... and that would be a pretty good house... and forever is a long... long time...

Still other children would rest their heads on their pillows at night and build their house big enough for aunts and uncles.... their nephews and nieces too... that would be a lovely house to go to and spend forever...

If God asked the children to build their house... when they went to sleep in their dreams....where they could stay forever some day... Some children would build a house with room enough for a mommy and their daddy... and all of their extended family... and even their friends from church....

But there would be some that would not let anyone else in their house... It might seems fun for a while... but like I said before...forever is a long...long time...

Others would build their house and help others build houses for people who looked like them and spoke the same language as them... who went to the same churches that were like their church.... and still others would not build any house at all... But if God asked you to build your house in heaven every night... and you remembered that forever is a very long ...long time...wouldn't it would be more fun if there was room enough for cats and dogs...rabbits too... a beautiful pond.... trees that sing... bells that ring...and rooms for people not just like you and me...

What if you could build rooms for all kind of people... who spoke different languages....went to different churches... or didn't go to church at all... You could even build rooms for people who didn't want to build their own house... They could come and visit you when they were lonely when they went to sleep at night...

It would take a very...very long... long time to build a house like that... but late at night...when you go to sleep... there is no such thing as time... You can build your house however large or small... with as many rooms as you want...

It's up to you...but remember to build your house with love and keep in mind... if you build your house that you would spend forever in... it would be interesting to have all kinds of friends...if God asked you to return every night in your dreams to build the house you would live in forever and ever...just remember that forever is a very... very...long...long time...
