Will Still Have Feelings In Heaven?
Answer: Yes! People in heaven have lots of feelings-all good ones. People in heaven are filled with joy! You will be busy smiling, whistling, and singing for joy.
When you are not doing that, you will be kicking your heels and jumping. Occasional high fives will interrupt the joviality.
The timing will be perfect, and you’ll love it. You will be happy because you will be with God and because all sin, death, and sadness will be gone forever.
And think of the joy when you see your family and friends. Heaven will be a place of great joy and gladness-great feelings all around.
Key verse: You will give me back my life. You will give me great joy in your presence. (Acts 2:28)

Can We Still Have Birthdays In Heaven?
Answer: The great thing about birthdays is the parties. In heaven, we won’t grow old, but we will have lots of parties.
The biggest party will be the celebration of “the wedding feast of the Lamb,” when we celebrate our new life in heaven with Jesus.
It will be ten times more fun than any birthday you’ve ever had.
The things we enjoy here on earth are like appetizers. They give us only a taste of what heaven will be like.
The things you enjoy here on earth will only be better and greater in the presence of God.
Key verse: And the angel spoke to me. He said, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” (Revelation 19:9)

Note to parents: Heaven lacks a lot of the things that kids enjoy-toys, television, and games.
This confuses many kids because they think they need these things to be happy.
They don’t realize that enjoyment of kid things depends on their being kids.
In heaven they won’t be kids anymore-they’ll be perfect, so they’ll enjoy different things.
What will make us happy in heaven will match who we will be then, and that’s something we can’t see very well right now (1 Corinthians 13:12).
Will You See Your Great-Great-Grandparents In Heaven?
Answer: All people who have ever believed in Jesus, no matter how long ago, will be in heaven.
If your great-great-grandparents believed in Jesus, they will be there.
Even though you have never met your great-great- grandparents, you will be able to meet them there.
But not every person who ever lived has believed, so not every person will be there.
Key verse: God has reserved for his children the priceless gift of eternal life.
It is kept in Heaven for you. It is pure and spotless.
It is beyond the reach of change and decay. (1 Peter 1:4)

Note to parents: This kind of question could mean,
“In heaven, will we see all people who have ever lived?” The answer is, “No, only those who have trusted in Christ as Savior.”
Or it could mean that your child is curious about past relatives whom he or she has never met.
If great-great-grandparents and others were believers, this would be a great time to tell about your family’s heritage of faith.
