Your Question:
What do I say to my kids when I'm dying?
Answer:
When speaking with my children about my impending death, I would want to be honest and reassuring. I would want to remind them of their faith and the love of Jesus. As a pastor, I've seen the importance of teaching children about God's love and presence in their lives. I would say something like, "Jesus will be with us always, even when I'm no longer here. He loves you both so much and will take care of you." It's also essential to be open and honest with my children about the reality of death. As the passage mentions, when children ask questions, we should try to be honest and not lie. I would explain that death is a part of life, but Jesus' love and presence will always be with them. I would also remind them of the many conversations we've had about God's love and the importance of following Him. Ultimately, as a parent, I want my children to know that they are loved and that Jesus loves them even more. I would want to reassure them that they are not alone and that God's love will always be with them. As the passage says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it." I would want to trust that the spiritual instruction and guidance I've given them will stay with them and guide them in the days ahead.
