We’ve been in a series at Cross Point on Heaven entitled “Glimpse”. This series has stretched me in a way I haven’t been stretched in a while. It’s been fun because we’ve had so many discussions at home with the kids about heaven. My 10 year old is especially interested. Just a few of his recent questions were….
- Is there football in heaven?
- Do we know anyone in our family that hasn’t gone to heaven?
- Is dog heaven separate from our heaven?
- Will I know you and mom in heaven?
I love kids because they’ll ask whatever’s on their mind unlike most adults who have somehow come to the conclusion that there are just certain things you can’t ask.
My friend Miranda sent me this hilarious (and also quite sad) video the other day. It reminded me of just how complex sharing our faith can be at times with our children. And by the way…if you’ve got kids I would love to hear what questions they’re asking these days.
