and so are the story and the book.
Picture courtesy of yahoo images search, I rented book courtesy of the local library.
This isn't the movie, this is the book, and at the beginning of the book before the actual read of the book, is a statement that I truly agree with. So I thought I would share this part and of course, I recommend the book and the movie.

********************************************
To parents who have lost children, born and unborn, may you find the comfort of heaven your child has found.
To all who are missing, loved ones, may you find the assurance of the reunion awaiting you in heaven.
To the tired and sometimes forgotten children's workers, may you hear the applause coming from the throne of heaven.
To those who have been wounded and rejected, may you find the healing and love that the Lord of heaven offers you here and now.
And to anyone who is still uncertain about heaven, may you discover that God's incredible gift is real and that you can receive it today.

"COLTON'S PRAYER FOR YOU"
DEAR FATHER GOD,
I JUST HOPE ALL THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVEN'T FOUND YOU YET, OR NEED TO BE REINFORCED BY YOUR WORD, LORD, JUST PLEASE HELP THEM SO THAT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO COME CLOSER TO YOU, SO THAT ONE DAY THEY MAY RECEIVE THE GIFT THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM. AND LORD, I WISH THAT,, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO MIGHT NOT BELIEVE THIS, I JUST HOPE YOU BLESS THEM SO THEN THEY WILL FIGURE OUT THAT YOU ARE REAL, YOU ARE GOD.
IN JESUS NAME,
AMEN
