Jesus Returns to Heavenhttp://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa100197.htm
Go to this URL to learn about the history of writing. From drawings to words penned by quill implements, humans have developed a system for recording their thoughts and communicating them to others.

You’re going to love the variety of this website. With diagrams to experiments you can do as a family, this history of the telephone tells it all.

Take a moment to read the history of the Internet that is presented at this URL. Communication has certainly become more technological!
Communication tools have advanced over hundreds of years, from written symbols on papyrus to words flung across the world via Internet. The methods to communicate today are many in number, even more than those we have read about as we studied the reports at these websites. How does this affect our ability to tell the world about Jesus?
Spend time as a family, thinking of ways that you can tell others about a risen Christ.

Peter Explains Belief in Jesushttp://www.woodruff-fp.co.uk/inheritancetaxwills.htm

Consider the various tips regarding wills and inheritance that are offered at these websites. Then think about your “heavenly” inheritance.
Read 1 Peter 1:3-9 as a family and discuss the following items:
• Describe the inheritance that is explained in this passage of Scripture. How is a heavenly inheritance different from an inheritance on earth?
• What promises does God make regarding heaven? Why should this give us hope?
• How can we obtain this “heavenly” inheritance?Spend a few moments in prayer, thanking Jesus for paying the price of salvation so that we could be the children of God and inherit eternal life.

Jesus Explains Eternal Life to Nicodemushttp://www.shaohannahshope.org/
Read about some of the organizations at this site that assist with adoptions. Think about what it might be like to be adopted or to adopt a child. Then discuss how adoption is like being accepted into the family of God.

Have some fun with these “spacey” web sites. For many years, the thought of traveling in space was a mystery and a dream. Then people figured out how to do it, and a man actually stepped out on the moon! But before he could do that, he had to believe that it could happen. Why does the key to eternal life seem like a mystery to so many people? What’s the solution to the mystery of eternal life?
Read John 3:1-17. How did Jesus explain eternal life to Nicodemus?
Consider this question as a family: Who is the giver of life, not just life on this earth, but eternal life in heaven? Softly repeat the name of Jesus several times as a family; then spend a few moments in silent prayer.
