How sweet!

I explain God and souls and such in this post.

It helps them to understand the substance of something that they cannot hold, or see, but can feel all around them….

Love this post! And I love being able to view the world through my children’s eyes when they let me.

That is so cute! My five year old had a lot of questions at dinner last night about God. It is very hard to explain. She wanted to know if God controls us or can make us do something. I explained about free-will, but how God can use the holy spirit to guide us. I told them that many of our questions will be answered when we get to heaven someday. Whew!! Some deep questions for a 5 year old.

Blessings,
Jen

Precious! What amazes and humbles me is that children have an inborn sense of spirituality and God. Nobody has to ‘convince’ them that God exists. They just feel His presence.

So sweet and precious! God is indeed the one and only true Superhero; He is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent.

I love the faith of little children. This verse came to mind: when Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Mark 10: 14b, 15

Don’t you just love the prayers of little ones?

The first few weeks of breastfeeding were quite painful for me this time around with my newborn. One night at dinner, my 2-year-old daughter prayed, “Dear God, please help mom’s boobs to feel better.” It was very sweet and very sincere.

Now, a month later, she’s still praying that (even though the pain is long gone and I’ve told her so)! Fortunately, she hasn’t done it in public yet!

Yes, Tara, I agree… “the faith of a child is a beautiful thing”!

I absolutely adore the ease with which my kids accept God. The other day my 5 year old son said to me “Mom, the stories about God are true right?” to which I replied yes. Then he said “but the stories about Spiderman aren’t?” to which I also said yes. Then he said “well, that’s ok because God is bigger than Spiderman anyway” and off he went.

And my sons both ask me to pray they won’t have bad dreams each night

The faith of a child is a beautiful thing.

That’s so beautiful. I am often amazed at my 4-year-old daughter’s conversations about God. Occasionally my 5-year-old so will say something, but my middle daughter seems to have an amazing grasp, “understanding” (I use that word very loosely) and reverence for God.
