had a pretty cool conversation with j tonight. the kid really blows me away sometimes.
j - mommy, did you know that bad people take you away if they don't like you?
l - who told you that?
j - remember that book you read me about Jesus and all the people were saying "hosanna! hosanna! hosanna!" and then the bad people came and took Jesus away because they didn't like him?
we talked about the cross and the rain. his death. the marys. the empty tomb. how Jesus died, but he didn't stay dead. he became alive and saved the world. so we don't need to worry about the bad guys, because Jesus already won.
j - but bad guys are really good fighters.
l - they are, but Jesus is a better fighter.
j - how do you know?
l - because i know Him.
oh Lord, to have more conversations like this with him.
That is an awesome conversation with your son. It's amazing how he can grasp concepts like that. You're raising a good one.
