Life. Death. Children. Family.

Yesterday's topic really drew me into the conversation. Life. Death. And Children. It really made me realize that as we get older we are going to be parents, and this is something we are going to have to tell our own kids. I got to thinking that when I'm a dad, I'm going to have to tell my children and explain what happens after people die. It is a sad subject but it's something all of us go through. The thing that I feel that would be hard to tell my children is explaining hell in general. That definitely would be tough for me to learn at a young age. Explaining heaven I would feel that they would understand through how I would raise my children. I can't really remember when I learned about life after death but I know I could understand it on the way my parents raised and taught me. I most likely didn't learn about it too much because we never really experienced much death in our family and friends. Anyways, I really think it's all about being a parent and how we will raise our kids. Hopefully someday I get to raise my kids the way my parents raised me because of how they did it. I can't explain how thankful and blessed I feel to have those two amazingly wonderful people. Same with how blessed I feel to have a wonderful brother and sister who I would do anything for. 

Psalms 139:13-16 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
