A mother shared this story with me. One day when her son was 4 years old he stood up and announced. “Mom, in the sky there is a cloud and in that cloud is heaven and in heaven is God and Jesus and in God and Jesus is a heart and in that heart is everyone.”
She was not taking her children to church nor was she reading them Bible stories. She was so shocked that she had no idea what to say but she did know that he was speaking the truth.
sometimes children say things that we need to sit up and pay attention. thanks for sharing this one thought provoking example.

Hi Lorrie,

In Spirit and Peace,
