How Many Sleeps Do You Have?

How Many Sleeps do You Have Left?

This is the question my 4-year-old grandson asked me.

“What do you mean?”

“You know, how many sleeps do you have before you have to go to heaven to see Jesus?”

Blew my mind away. How do you answer? I told him nobody knows how many sleeps they will have before they meet Jesus.

“But how many sleeps? A couple or a lot?”

“So many sleeps I can’t count them.” Is my answer. It seems to satisfy him.

There was the time when my 4-year-old granddaughter asked me.

“Do you remember when I was your grandmother. I always loved you so much.”

Blew my mind away. How do you answer? I told her, “Why not tell me about some of our times together?” 

My memory is clear, as I was very close to my grandma. Granddaughter smiles, takes my hand, and we play.

How about you? Do you have any experience with young children asking you profound questions concerning the afterlife? Tell me in the comments. I’d love to know.
