Kids Say The Darndest Things!!!
March 20th, 2009My son and I have had some….interesting….discussions here lately. Some of them have just been about whatever has been going on, others have been about books we’ve been reading, and still others have been about the Bible and religion.
One of our conversations about the Bible here about a month or so ago was about the verse in Matthew that says that you are supposed to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. When my son asked me what that meant, I told him that, normally, the ones that persecute you are your enemies, which basically meant that we are to pray for our enemies. He thinks about it for just a minute, and then he says “That’s not right!”. I explained to him that it was a VERY difficult thing to do sometimes, but that’s what Jesus wants us to do…pray for our enemies. He repeated “That’s not right!”…I kind of chuckled at him and told him that we didn’t have to like it, but that’s what Jesus/God wants us to do here on Earth, and that’s what we should do. He repeated again that that was not right, and I asked him if he was willing to tell God that that wasn’t right when he got to Heaven. He didn’t even hesitate before he said “Yeah!!! ‘Cause that’s not right!!!”…*LOL* I can see my son going up to God in Heaven and saying that they needed to have a discussion because “That’s not right!!!”…*L*
Oh, the joy that children bring into our houses!!!
God Bless!!!
