Where Does God Live?

I was reading a few of the books tonight that  I checked out from the library the other day.  One of the books is called "Where Does God Live?" written by Holly Bea  and Illustrated by Kim Howard.  I LOVE IT!


It is a very beautiful book and I highly recommend all my friends checking it out if you can.  (the library will eventually have it back when I return it...I really like it so i may keep it as long as I can :-)  It's about a little girl who asks a lot of questions and she asks her mom one day where God lives and her mom says that "he lives in heaven, way up in the sky."  So the little girl tries to figure out where heaven is because she has never seen it in the sky.  So she goes and asks her animal friends and each animal friend believes that because everything around them is so beautiful that God must live right there with them where they live.  So the girl ends up asking her Grandma and her Grandma tells her how God lives in everything, and everyone. 

Here's my favorite part of Grandma's answer:

"God lives in the frogs and the birds and in you.
When you're looking for God, it's easy to do.
God lives in all things that you see, hear, or touch.
God lives in all people. God's in each one of us.

And when you meet people who are loving and good,
They're letting God out, just as everyone could.
And if you meet people who seem hateful or bad,
They've forgotten God's here, and that makes God sad."

I am definitely putting this book on my Books-To-Buy list. I highly recommend it to all my mommy friends and if you read it please let me know what you think of it.  God definitely knew I needed this book right now though and I am so thankful I read it with the boys tonight.  So heart warming and filling.
