So on Saturday my 6.5 year old nephew came over. His face was all red and I asked him if he was crying and if everything is all right. He started to tear up and asked if it's true that once we die we can't come back here.
I was shocked, and didn't really know what to say. So, I just told him that, "You know how I'm always reading my Bible? Well, it's to know God so we can spend eternity with him." I really didn't know what else to say. I've never heard him talk like this before.
I asked my sister about it and she said he said the same thing to her and told him to talk to me about it since I study the Bible. But, still... I didn't know what to say to him.
I also asked why he was thinking about this but didn't get an answer. I just cheered him up and started playing with him.
Any advice??? It's just so much easier to talk with an adult about God and death than a child.
Also, I've gotten him the Action Bible, and he loves going through it. So, hopefully he'll grow up putting his trust in God.
