Out of the mouths of babes

Two days ago, Rebekah says to me, "Why do we have Jesus in our heart?" I said, "Because we ask Him to be there. Do you want to ask Him to be there?" "Yes!" So, she prayed that Jesus would come into her heart and then Jessica explained that Jesus is inside of us and outside of us at the same time. Why is it so confusing for supposedly smart adults and the children get it so easily. Jessica didn't question that Christ is inside of us and all around us at the same time. She just accepts it as the way it is. Rebekah wanted Jesus to be in her heart. She asks why about everything now. But once it was explained to her, it she accepted it. My children are such a blessing to me and I have to remind myself to let the little things, like changing clothes twice because they were playing in the mud, not make me crazy. They are beautiful in the sight of the Lord and they are beautiful children. Their minds are open to discovery and they are so innocent and wonderful. Thank God for the children!
