After reviewing the first four questions of the First Catechism (God made me and all things for His own glory) the other day, Christopher yelled, "DISEASE!" Now I don't always expect everything a 3yo says to be relevant to the topic at hand, but his timing and expression indicated some sort of connection I was supposed to get. We had discussed disease the other day, but I wasn't sure he was thinking through the philosophical implications of God creating disease and suffering in the world. "Disease?" I queried. "Pretty white flowers," he explained. "Oh, God made daisies!" I got it. Christopher smiled knowingly, "Yes!" |
