We were at the farm looking at pumpkins and the lady was telling us
how you can make pumpkins last longer.
Later on the way home the boys were lecturing me to make sure
I knew what to do to make the pumpkins last a long time...
Jake said he wanted them to last foweveh and eveh...
Ben said it's kinda like people...pumpkin don't ever last a long time...or they rot.
I looked back at him with the strangest look trying to be supportive of his answer.
I asked him what he meant by that and he said pumpkins and people both die...
our bodies just die they can't be around forever...
I thought wow...pretty cool Ben...so I said so what happens to us when we die
He said remember mom...we go to heaven...our spirit does...He said they live just like the seeds ...
even after a pumpkin is dead you still have it's seeds
I just felt immediately moved... and my heart was searching for my seed...what am I leaving behind...
Just like Ben says the only earthly part of us that is left is the seed we leave behind
mmm that'll preach huh?
