"I like this earth"

As Micah and I took a walk to a neighbor's trampoline on Tuesday, this is what he said, seemingly from out of the blue.

"I really like this earth, Dad. Don't you? I mean you get to eat good food and look at the beautiful valley. And there's trampolines and rainbows and easter eggs. I get to play with my friends every day and I have so many friends. I like this earth."

I do too, Micah, especially because I have a son like you. And you know what, buddy? Heaven's going to be even better!
