How do you describe the indescribable?

How do you describe the indescribable?

A couple of years ago, Emily asked Jen and I what Heaven was?  How do you describe the indescribable to a 3 year old when you can't even imagine how glorious it is?

Emily loved (and actually still loves) going to our neighborhood parks.  When she was really young and first going down the slides we would say "Wheeeeeeee" as she slid down.  The word stuck and she called every park "Wheeeeeee".  She differentiated between the parks by some unique feature.  Like the "Horsey Wheeee" or the "Fishy Wheeee", etc.  Emily loved slides.

So when she asked us about Heaven, Jen was able to explain it right away. She said "Heaven is full of "Wheeees" and slides. All the best "Wheees" you could ever imagine."

How have you described Heaven and other indescribable things to your children?

Blessings
