Discovering the World

May. 5, 2008 - I'm so proud of this kid.

Nathaniel, my four year old has always been quite intuitive and just seems to get things that I think are beyond his years. I remember when he was 2 we went for a walk on a wooded trail. At one point we stopped to look around and I asked him what he saw. I thought he would say trees or leaves or woods, something obvious. His reply was simply this: "Life".

So this shouldn't have surprised me tonight, but it did. We were reading in the kids' Bible storybook and there were some questions that parents could ask their kids. I asked this question, "How do you feel about Jesus having to die for us on the cross?" I thought he would say sad or that he didn't know. What I got was another simple, one word answer that was so profound it brought me to tears. He said, "safe".

Safe. Yes we certainly are safe in Him.

That is so cool! That's exactly how we should feel isn't it? Safe. I agree with you. One little word and yet it makes you think VERY hard. :)

Hey,
It's so nice to hear a Mommy talk so positive of her babies. There's so many parents out there speaking negative of their children. I'm a firm believer of bragging on our children when they do something to Glorify God. :--) It's so much nicer than hearing the negative. Talk later.
