It’s amazing what kids pick up.
Several weeks ago I overheard my children in serious conversation. Unable to stop myself, I stopped to figure out what could be so serious.
“You see,” I heard my oldest tell her brother, “God made everything. And Jesus made it all right.”
What an amazingly insightful thing to hear my 5 year-old tell her brother.
I know I have never said those words to her.
And once again I’m reminded that the children shall lead us.

Oh man, that’s awesome. You get the good mommy award. Unfortunately, I walk in to hear my child say, “Dammit Indie” …Indie is our dog…oh crap.
OneMommy says
LOL — I don’t know about a mommy award; you never know what ANY kid is going to say! 🙂

She amazes me every day — sometimes her wisdom is so beyond her years.

That is so sweet. It is amazing what children pick up when WE think they aren’t listening. I’ve noticed similar conversations between my girls. Once it was about lying.
My oldest said, “That’s not nice. That wasn’t true. Do you know who the Father of the Lie is?”
To which her sister said, “Satan,” with a sad, scared sound in her voice.
“That’s right and he is God’s enemy. You don’t want to be God’s enemy, do you?”
Pretty heavy for a six year old, but it just reinforced to me that she has been listening and soaking it all in all along. Love my conscientious little ones.
