From the Mouth of Children

Okay, some things are just too funny not to share. Part of the night time routine is to pray with each boy before they go to sleep. The boys decide which parent they want to pray with them. Anyways, it was my night to be in favor with Luke. As I am leaning over to give him a good night kiss, he puts his hands on my cheeks and says in an earnest voice" Mommy, Jesus Christ is a superhero", to which I replied yes, he is a hero. Mommy, Jesus Christ does not fly because he does not have any wings or a cape. He floats down and then goes and gets all the bad guys." To which I said, yes, that is right he helps us fight the bad guys." What else can you say?

Another funny moment occurred in the car. A little girl from Luke's class at preschool went to Denver Colorado and brought some special chocolates back for her classmates. The chocolates were covered in paper printed with a picture of the Denver capital building. Luke held up the chocolate in the car and said "Mommy look, look, it's Jesus' house (meaning he thought it was a temple) to which I replied yes, Jesus' house is the temple but that is not a temple. Adam then pipes in and says yeah, that is Jesus' work." Which in an odd kind of way makes sense because the temple is where Jesus' work gets done. So they must be getting some concepts into their four year old heads.

Out of the mouth of babes.
