Why doesn't Jesus return all the children?

Continued

All four of her limbs moved at once, then color came back into her face, and she screamed "I need a Band-Aid." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What feelings to deal with! Such a mixture of disbelief, horror, confusion, awe, gratitude and relief.

It never occurred to me that my daughter might have had an NDE.

BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL

A few months later, she told us a story (about the accident) which goes as follows: She was floating above the wreckage of the car. Then Jesus picked her up. He was beautiful (and she had a look in her eyes). He was made of light, blue light and he was taking her to heaven. I asked her if she wanted to go, and she said "yes." And I asked her why she didn't, she said "You were crying so much that Jesus gave me back to you."

WHY DOESN'T JESUS GIVE BACK ALL THE CHILDREN?

Frank Oski, one of my professors at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, had a dream, when he asked that very question after one of his patients died very young. Oski was the Dean of American Pediatricians.

A woman in white came to his bed and told him that every child's life is important and has meaning, no matter how short that life is. He was told that children who die at an early age know secrets of living that the rest of us never learn. From those children who do come back, we learn what dying is like.
