A couple of nights ago my two sons, twelve and ten years old, and I were talking about Heaven. All our lives we are told that you will see all your lost loved ones that departed this earth before you. Our thought was how do you find them all, when the rapture happens will we just all be put in groups by family. Then what about a person that spouse has died and they remarry, what family do they go to. People are always saying they can't wait to meet Jesus face to face, how will we all get to meet him. I know we will have eteranl life so I guess there will be time for everything, but we were just having a good discussion. Of course, they also wanted to know if all of their pets would be there.

Well,if the person truly saved accepted Jesus as their Lord and savior will surely go to Heaven once they die. no matter what happen in this earth He/she saved forever and ever. And we just have human nature in this earth because we still here to do sin but second life secured forever and ever..John 10:28 and if we sin we must confess it.1John 1:9

That is the key that you have to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you do not proclaim him, then there is no telling what will happen to you. I know that God will make sure that all of his followers are taken care of and will have an wonderful eternal life in Heaven.

True the key to Heaven is only through Jesus Christ and none else.He expected that His children will bore witness about Jesus and they will be saved and will go to a place Heaven.

Our pastor once told me that in heaven we are all pure. When we die, our relationships here on earth will be changed. In heaven we are all brothers and sisters. I think he also said that you would not remember your husband, parents etc as that BUT you would remember them as your brother or sister. BUT of course we don't really it's ONLY HIM and his will be done. ALL we should do, is to pray and just believe that GOD made heaven for us. For us to be free from suffering and pain and to be with him FOREVER. =)

That is the right thing for us to do, PRAY...and do what our Lord wants us to do. I remember a priest said before that some people now focus more on the traditional works of their church but not on doing true good works for others, even for the less fortunate. Prayer and putting our prayer into action is what we have to do, and then heaven comes.

There is so much power in prayer. The stories of people that have cancer and go in to start treatment and it is gone, that is a true miracle and shows that prayers are answered. They might not be answered as quick as you would like or the way you would like, but God has a plan for us and if you let him he will take care of you.

We cant when child will ask any questions. But no one has the knowledge of heaven and no one knows when their time will end. You are talking them about heaven means good.

It really is amazing what children will come up with. You think they may not understand a lot of things, but they will always surprise you. We have had many conversations like this, I guess the main thing is the parent needs to take the time for them. I have always worked in Vacation Bible School and I am amazed at some of the things I learn from the kids.

Heaven is for real for sure,and the best book with all your questions about Heaven and the life after is the word of God, the Holy Bible.

Heaven can be a confusing topic to think about. Trying to explain it to a child can prove to be quite a task. Adults can barely wrap their minds around it. Heaven like the mystery of the trinity and Christ’s resurrection are things that we can not explain because we only have part understanding but Christ promised that on his return, we would have full understanding.
