Tonight James is sleeping over at a friends’ house. Faith is having a friend from the neighbourhood come spend the night. So, as is our custom, that means the kids without a play date arranged get to have a sibling sleepover.
We Stephen had just blown up the airbed and I was asking Grace which movie she had chosen to watch. She had the Easter Storykeeper’s video out. She flipped it over and told me all about the “kwhy” (bad) guys and really, the whole story of Easter, ending as usual with, “Jesus is alive!”
Such precious words to hear from my little girl. But, I carried it on and asked her a question that I figured I probably knew the answer to.
“Did anyone tell you about Jesus in China?”
“No”, she said, “but I *love* Jesus!”, hugging the video tightly to her chest.
*sniff* <happy tears swallowed>
Yes, such sweet words from our little girl. It is only the beginnings of God’s revelation to her, but as with all of our kids, it is my favourite part of their growing that we get to walk alongside of.
