A little boy who had experienced significant health issues asked his father,
“Daddy, what
is it like to die?
(and)
“Should I be
afraid?”
His father
was caught a bit off guard, but he looked down at the little fella with loving
eyes, sat down, and pulled him into his lap.
“Timmy, do
you remember when you were younger, how you fell asleep on the couch, and woke
up in your own bedroom?”
To which the
little boy smiled a half smile, and nodded.
“Well, of
course after you fell asleep on the sofa, I would lift you up, and walk you into
your own room, lay you down on your bed, tuck you in, and you would wake up
there in the morning.”
As the young
boy looked intently into his father’s eyes, his dad continued.
“Just like I
used to lift you up after you feel asleep, and gathered you in my arms, and
walked you into your own room, our Father in heaven will do the same thing. You
will fall asleep here, He will lift you up in His strong arms, and you will
wake up in heaven.”
And from
that day until the day that the precious little boy passed from this life, he
was no longer afraid.
