Heaven and Gum

I took a walk with Ellie after lunch. We were walking past trees and honeysuckle bushes, the sun was shining and the wind was rustling through the leaves. What a gorgeous day! However, we had to be careful of poison ivy as we stopped to smell the honeysuckles. As we walked, we talked about how perfect earth was before sin, and heaven.

Me: Someday, Jesus will come back, and God will create a new heaven and a new earth. And there won't be itchy poison ivy, or sticker bushes or bugs that bite us. And the bible says in heaven there won't be any death or pain or tears or sadness.

Ellie: But there will be gum!

I'm not sure if Ellie received a personal revelation from God about gum, or if she is just believing with faith ... but all custodians be forewarned ... they MAY be gum in heaven.
