The boys and I went to church this morning. Something I'm so proud to say I've done each and every Sunday for several months now. We were driving home and I was asking the boys about Sunday School .... what they learned, did, read, sang, etc. Gavin then asked me what I did and the conversation went like this ....
Me: Well, we read a little from the Bible and I talked to God.
Gavin: Where is he?
Me: Do you see the clouds up in the sky? He is way up behind the clouds in Heaven.
... long pause, he is thinking about this ...
Gavin: I don't want to talk to him.
Me: Why not?
Gavin: I don't want to go up there.
Me: Honey, you don't have to go up there. You can talk to God right here and he will hear you because he's also in your heart.
... another pause, he's really thinking about this ...
Me: When you love God, you let him in your heart and he's with you always.
Gavin: Is God in your heart Mommy?
Me: He is baby. Is he in your heart?
Gavin: No.
Mommy: Do you love God?
Gavin: Yes.
Mommy: Then he is in your heart and he is always with you.
OMG, my heart burst. Thankfully, I think I handled that pretty well! Sadly though, a toddler talk about God is about all I can handle right now. I've got so much to learn ...
When we got home, Gavin asked his daddy if God was in his heart and went on to tell him that he loves God and he is in his heart .... my sweet boy!
