Today, I read the kids a passage from Matthew 26, on the preceeding events of Jesus' crucifixtion and ressurection. I read rather monotone a lengthy part of the chapter. After reading, I asked the children if they had any questions. Suprisingly, Faith and Rhema picked out the part of the chapter where the woman pours the costly anointment on Jesus. I was impressed by her observation and listening skills. Rhema asked about Judas and why he betrayed Jesus. I said, "Sometimes people make bad choices." Faith responded, "why was that a bad choice." I proceeded to tell her that Judas' betrayal put Jesus on the cross. She then said, "Yea, but it was a good choice, because Jesus rose again. They did their part, and God did his part. "They" both did their part, so it was a good choice."

I didnt expect my little four year old to prompt my thinking about the soverignty of God and man's free will!!!! Her analyzation of the subject was amazing.
