Dec. 7, 2007 - Christian's Thoughts on God
Christian is a thinker. The day after he was born, my midwife looked at him and said, "Oh, he's going to be a serious one!" His expressions were always very serious - as though he were deep in thought, pondering the goings on of life (at least, in the few moments he spent awake!). However, he has grown up to be a very silly boy, like his brothers, but he still spends a lot of time alone in serious thought. Here are some of his recent thoughts and dreams.
-----
C: If Jesus lives in our hearts, then he's always with us, right?
Me: That's right.
C: Yeah, I know that... And Jesus was with us last night.
Me: He sure was.
C: Yeah, he was sleeping on our couch... but that was after he put the bear in jail. (Christian is Terrified of bears!). I really love Jesus. He's very brave.
-----
C (after hearing me explain that no one can see God while they are still alive on earth): That's not true Mommy, I've seen God before!
Me: Have you?
C: Yes! He's really big. And he was wearing pink glasses. But they were broken.
-----
C: Is God stronger than ALL of the bears?
Me: He sure is, he made the bears!
C: So he can make them all die then! I'm going to tell him that. "God, can you please just shoot the bears so they won't be mean anymore?
