Heaven's Playground is Dedicated to the Memory of All Little Angels

Above Art by Dona Gelsinger

I want to tell you of a very special place just inside Heaven's gate. A place I saw in a vision, the loudest, happiest place in Heaven. In this very special place is where you can find God spending his time, and is thought to be God's favorite. This place is filled with laughter, love, light, happiness, and all things good, and is so perfect because it was made by God, out of the love that all the mommy's and daddy's gave to their children there.

In this special place, you can see God sitting with the children, reading stories to them, and giving them love. The children sitting at God's feet have names that I do not know, but God knows each one by name. These are the children that visited the Earth for only a short time, yet still were loved as intensely had they lived until a thousand years. Some named not by their parents, but by their Heavenly Father. God reaches down and touches their cheek, says their name and I love you, and gives them a special wink. In this group of children I see one of my babies, my sibling, the children of my friends- Richelle, Amy, Betsy, Leslie, Lynda, Lynne, Malia, Michele, Michelle, MK, Penny, Sheryl, Tami, Tina, Wendy, and many others who's parents I do know know. God knows and loves each of these children. Some of my friends have more than one child there, and their children sit next to one another holding hands, and ever so often, they look at their sibling and smile.

As I keep on looking around, I see other children who's names I know. Sweet Katherine Grace is brushing God's hair, she sings a happy song, and wears a smile upon her face. Every once in a while she stops, and kisses God on the cheek.

Meghan sits on God's lap. She claps her hands to Katherine's song. She waves every so often at her siblings sitting at God's feet.

Sitting beneath one of the trees are Kelly, Ericka, Annie and Lynn. The girls are having a tea party. Each set of sisters take turns getting up together to dance to Katherine and Meghan's music, as they hold hands and twirl about.

I hear a little more laughter coming from behind one of the trees, and pretty soon I see 5 children come running out, with great big giggles. They had been playing hide and seek. These children run and place a flower at God's feet, and sit down to listen to the stories. I recognize them and know them by name; Andrew Ryan, Matthew, Dylan, Seve and Alaric.

Then for a moment I was sad. I did not see who I wanted to see. Then I heard a rustle, and looked way up high, above in the trees. My heart leaped with joy. The strongest, loudest and most active children in Heaven. James and Joseph were swinging from the branches. They were perfect from head to toe, and laughed so loudly that it echoed throughout all of Heaven's corners. And climbing higher than all of them all was my Eternity. She had a smile upon her face, a silly giggle, beautiful, strong, perfect legs and was shouting to those down below, and she held a special hand of one of her friends, Bryanna-Brandyn, who was smiling and shouting just as loud, looking as beautiful as can be.

A peace came over me and the vision began to fade, but not before I could hear God begin to call each child's name, and then God picked up the children one by one, and hugged each one, and gave them a special kiss. The last fading thing I heard God saying was " I LOVE YOU- Andrew, James, Meghan, Dylan, Katherine, Joseph, Bryanna-Brandyn, Annie, Lynn, Matthew, Seve, Alaric, Kelly, Ericka, Eternity......"
