Can you give me some ideas for getting a teenager excited about heaven?

Let it go...Sometimes people don't need to believe in things like that to live a fullfilling life. I would just worry about yourself instead of trying to fill someone else's head with Fairy Tales....the last thing this world needs is another irrational thinker.

Look near the bottom of the Free Stuff page @ http://web.express56.com/~bromar/ for some Teen specific sites. There are a lot of other good Christian sites on that page too.

My mother died a few years ago. The best gift I could give her is my being near to God our father in heaven and my belief in Jesus Christ his only son - she will be happy looking down on me from heaven; seeing me being a good servant of God.

Okay, this is fun.  There are so many things you can do.  Growing up what we did was play spin the bottle, truth or dare, light as a feather heavy as a board, give each other manicures, paint toenails.  If you have a fire you can each write something that you want to be free of, like an old boyfriend, on a piece of paper and throw it in the fire (parent supervision).  This is fun because it makes you feel free.  Lip sink to your favorite songs and pretend you are the singer.  You can make God boxes- these are decorated boxes that you can keep in your room and put notes in when something is bothering you.  It's like you are turning your problems over to God or your higher power.  You can make these out of tissure boxes or shoe boxes.  It's good to share secrets, make cards for each other, assign everyone a secret pal and have them make a card for that person.  You can get a big tub of ice cream, cookies, and pig out.  Some people even play with tarot cards or give each other future predictions.  When someone is asleep you can put their bra in the freezer or you can dip someones hand in warm water while they sleep, this will make them have to pee.  We would also go through the persons closet and help them match cute outfits and show them what looks good on them.  Have fun and remember to not target anyone with mean things.  That's not cool.

Climb to the top of the most beautiful mountain there is and look around you.\n\nBe there when a new baby is entering the world from a mother's womb.\n\nConsider the complexity of the universe and the fact that everything in it is 'just right' to support life on this planet.\n\nListen to people who have prayed to God in their lowest and darkest times, and found that God answered. \n\nBut the best evidence is in this--Pray to him sincerely to open your eyes so that you may see him. Then humbly wait and watch.

I'm sorry.  You got a really hard road ahead.\nThe infant yrs will be the worst, teens will lighten up.  They really hate novel situations, they like their lives predictable.  Best thing you can do is "push the envelope", expose him to new experiences at a rate that won't freak him out.

I would talk with a pastor of the denomination involved. If there's not time for that write out a nice speech acknowledging the persons life, accomplishments, and strong personal points. Let the end of the speech call for the friends and family of the deceased to resolve (this is a resolution) to hold this dear ones memory close and to follow their example in good things just as they followed the example of Jesus. If you want to make it really nice and give people something to keep put the speech down on paper real nice and neat, maybe typed out or something like that, and then make lots of copies. If you can add a photo of the deceased (and remember to put things like the date and location of the church on it) I think people would like it. But check with the pastor before you do this. Hope this helps. :-)

decorate like differnt bible times. start with the garden of eden hide eggs among the fruits, then go to the ark, tower of babel, jonah and other stories depending on the age group and time. then enter the new testamet where they start at the manger and go through the life of jesus. go to the cross and hide black eggs then.... have them go to the tomb and find the golden egg hidden in burial clothes. if possible have an actor throught, especiaaly in the end, playing jesus, have him rise( the true meaning of easter-make sure th kidsw know what it is) and maybe jesus can hand them the last egg. it is fun and the kids get the true meaning of christmas along with other bible stories.\n\n   this may not work on such short notice but mayber you can figure something out and it's a possibility for next year. GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN!!!

I agree. Our lord heavenly father, is the most merciful, loving caring GOD!! I believe he put us on this earth as a test. HE wants to know if we are really trusting him. I can't wait till I see HIM. My one wish in my life is to give Jesus a hug. I think that would be an awsome gift to GOD for me. I think my lord is always here to protect us. HE wants us to learn from our mistakes, and wrong turns. HE is just so forgiving,and always true that he promises a good life to us, when He has already given us enough. I would just dream of giving HIM a hug. I am only 12 years old and can't wait to give HIM a hug. I hope you don't mind getting this from a 12 year old, but I can't wait. I've got big dreams and GOD will guide me all the way!!! Aint it great!!!

That's so sweet!   If you'd just like to get her a gift related to angels, which I'm sure she'd love, below is the link for a really good website that specializes in angel products at reasonable prices.\n\nIf you'd like to do something a little more personal then how about writing her poetry and making it into a book?  I made my mom a book of poetry one year and to this day it is still the most treasured gift I've ever given her. I wrote all of the poems and really decorated the book nicely too. Or, you could write her one really good poem, perhaps about being your "angel", and either have it professionally penned in caligraphy (or do it yourself) and put some artwork with it and frame it.  It would make a beautiful, and personalized, picture.

Get a shirt box fill it with popcorn and put a really cheesy movie inside - like Plan 9 From Outer Space, Bubbahotep, Amityville  2, etc. The popcorn makes really great cushion and noise so it will be a real surprise when they open it. Good Luck!
