I always thought about that. I know that if I went up without my family, I would be saddened. That's why while I was going to church without them, I would always leave a prayer request for them. That was some years ago. But I thank God that today he answered my prayers because now all my brothers and sisters and my dad are serving God. I give him praises.
So, how would you feel, or have that thought ever come to your mind? Share with me.

I believe that God will make it okay for us. Why would we be misserable without our family in heaven with us? It would not heaven. I have thought of this also, and I think I am sad at the moment at the thought, but I believe that in heaven all our pain, worry and sorrow will be lifted.

I too believe that sorrow and pain will have no existence in heaven, but thinking about the moment of being lifted up to be taken to heaven and seeing that you are without your family is what gets to me. I thank God that my whole family are serving him. I know that there is a chance that we all might be taken up with eachother. And thank you for your response.

Yeah, finally a discussion with some meaning to it. Yeah, I think about it sometimes, I have 4 children and I know that some for sure will not go if they don't turn back to the L-rd.
As for how would I feel? When I think about it, it scares me, I don't want my family and friends left behind and I want so much for them to turn to the L-rd.
Then again, I have heard that once in His presence, that everything fades away. I also wonder if He taries and I pass on, what do I know about what is going on here on earth? Can I still pray, (talk to G-d) about softening my family's heart and for them to turn to him?
This is a thought provoking question rabanesd, one I have thought about on & off since I started serving the L-rd.

I would feel very very sad if my family did not make it to heaven with me. Espically since all of my brothers and sisters have been taught about God and heaven. I don't go to church on a regualr bases. My kids do go once a week. But I do study and read the bible. Even if it is just a verse someone has send me each day.
