Last night as Dan and I were putting Jedi to sleep, we were reflecting on the things that he had done in the day. We had just finsihed praying for him as well. Suddenly he asked us:
"If I cry alot, will Jesus still be in my heart?"
Thinking this was a great opportunity to tell him more about God at his level, we said:
" Yes! Jesus will always be in your heart whether you cry or laugh, whether you are naughty or good. That's how much He loves you."
A meditative silence from Jedi....
I thought it might be helpful to expound on it so I asked Jedi:
" Jedi, your cough is all better now. Do you know who has healed you?"
Jedi shook his head.
" Jesus!"
I went on to ask:
"Jedi you have grown so strong and tall too! Do you know who has helped you?"
Jedi's answer: "Carrots and vegetables!"
Dan and I collapsed into a fit of laughter. Jedi wasn't trying to be cheeky. He was answering honestly from all that he understood about life as a three and a half year old!
Wished my parents could have been there to celebrate with thier grandaughter too but they sent their well-wishes from Down Under.
