This is what my little three year old son came asking me this morning. This is how the conversation went:
Cooper: Mommy, Are you a Doctor?
Mommy: No, honey, why?
Cooper (tearing up): Because Graycen (my 5 1/2 yr old) said that we were all gonna die!!!!
Mommy: WHAT?!?!?!?!
Cooper: Graycen told me that we were all dying!!!!!!
Mommy: You are fine honey. You are NOT dying! Please ask your sister to come and see Mommy.
Graycen: Yes, Mom.
Mommy: Why on earth did you tell your little brother that he was going to die?!?!?!?!
Graycen: Actually Mother, I told him that they (Cooper, and my two other daughters) were going to die, BUT that if they had faith in Christ they would live.
Mommy: (holding back the HUGE grin that was starting to BUST OUT!!!) Well, Graycen honey that is true, but your brother is 3 years old. You have to be careful that the person you are witnessing to is old enough to undersand. He is now fearful and he doesn't yet have the understanding to find His own faith in Christ.
Graycen: (literally rolling her eyes): Well, I guess I will go and tell him to forget I said it...for now. (and then under her breath as she walked through the door to go upstairs), but he IS going to die unless he has faith in Christ.
