When Mommy Is in Heaven

Book excerpt: Micah’s school is having a Mother’s Day Tea. With much excitement, he gives the invitation to his grandmother, who agrees to attend with him. Micah prays every night that God will allow his mother, who is in Heaven, to attend the party. For young Micah, and children like him, who have lost a parent or a loved one at a very young age, it is extremely difficult to grasp the idea behind passing away and not being able to see or talk to our loved ones. This book addresses issues of faith, loss and grief. It is also a book about love, healing and the blessings that God provides, even when it is not in the way we expect.
