A Dinner Conversation

 love watching littles do their thing. Lining up toys and listening to their solo play ... their imagination is so worth tapping in to.

Recently this little guy joined us for dinner. We had just begun eating when he reminded us about "Come Lord Jesus" so we stopped eating and said our prayers.

And then ... a conversation took place.

"Mimi, why do we talk to Jesus when he's not here."
"Well, while we can't see Jesus, he's here!"
"But where is he?"
"Jesus lives in my heart so he's always with me."
"But how did he get there?"
"I invited him into my heart to help me live in a way that is good and nice and helpful."
"I want Jesus to live in my heart, too!"
"Well, just ask Jesus to come live in your heart!"
"JESUS, COME LIVE IN MY HEART!"

But as often happens with 4 year olds ... the conversation went south.

"Jesus doesn't like girls."
"Eat your dinner, buddy."

Have I mentioned how much I love these little people?
