I was talking with Jack about prayer. How prayer is how we talk to God. We pray together every night before bed- it's pretty sweet to hear him. I told him that God can give him things that mom & dad can't. Peace, patience, etc. I gave him the example of praying in the middle of the night if he's scared.
His response was, "And then Mom, God will come & cuddle with me?".
Tonight we were reading this book before bed (great, beautifully written book by the way) & we got to the part where Adam & Eve are turned out of the garden, but God says he'll be back for his children.
Jack turned to me and said, "Oh Mom, I guess God just had to go run a little errand or go to bed."
These both made me giggle.

Aren't the things kids say just amazing?? Sweet little Jack.... :)
The other day, Isaac asked me why God even bothered making bad people when he could have just made all good people?? How do you explain the fall of man/free will to an almost 5 year old? I tried to explain that we all have a choice to do good or bad, but that unfortunately, none of us will ever be perfect on this earth. Isaac thought it was crazy that God would give us a choice! :) I'm at a loss....
Jack told me that jesus is like spiderman. Actually, outside of the webslinging....? nope. Totally different.
tonight jack told me that he was waiting for God to come & get him out of the bathtub.
