Explaining God and Heaven
Rylie has been asking me a lot of questions about God and Heaven. She asks me questions like, “How come I can’t see God if he is in my heart?,” “Where is Heaven?,” and “How do I get to Heaven and see God?” She doesn’t ask much about Jesus… maybe because she sees pictures of him in her Bible? I do my best to answer her questions, but I’m always wondering if I can explain it any better. I would love to hear how you guys explain God and Heaven to your child(ren).
Ending with a picture of my curious child : )

rylie is such a smart & inquisitive kiddo. i have no idea how i would answer. that’s why i have you! so when evan starts asking these questions i’ll run right to you for help. =) love this photo of rylie~ she’s such a gorgeous baby girl! =) btw, i still remember this one video clip youkeun had on his old site where rylie was a little baby and she only wanted you so every time youkeun went near her she complained~ lol! now look at how big she is!!
How sweet of Rylie to ask such questions… I once told a friend that God is kind of like the wind. You can see the effects of the wind, but can’t actually see the wind, you know? Hope you’re doing well!
josh had a lot of the same questions and i just tried to answer each one the best i could. so i think now, josh thinks God is somewhere higher than the sky and the stars… he also knows Jesus is God’s son but He’s kinda like God. haha, yeah that’s the best i could do… but i try to work with sunday school to give him a sense of God. but for some reason, he clung to the fact that God protects all people and he always seems to bring that up.
right now, he’s more obsessed with death and dying which is another tough issues… i guess this is where parenting gets even more challenging!!
@skippeeahn - lol, i totally remember that video! Ryder is that EXACT same way though. Whenever Youkeun comes near him, he scrunches his face and grunts!
@March_Bride - That’s a great explanation! btw, congrats on your little one
Isn’t it so different with two??? Hope your recovery is going well!
@ka_woman - rylie JUST brought up death the other day. i was shocked cause i never used that word with her before. i’m not sure where she picked it up from, but i’m pretty sure she’ll ask me more questions about it soon. =/
