Abby had some excellent questions for us tonight:
(At the dinner table):
A: Does God have eyes?
M: Well, God is a spirit, remember? He doesn't have a body. But Jesus has a body and eyes, and he is also God.
A: Well, how can he see everything if he doesn't have eyes?
M: He's a spirit, and he is everywhere.
(pause)
A: Um, is there only one God?
M: yes.
A: Well, it sounds like if God can see everything then there's lots of Gods.
(M and G smile, chuckle, and keep trying to explain...)
We're still trying to understand these mysteries ourselves, but the kiddo is asking awesome questions (in both the "cool" and "staggering" senses of the word).
(Tonight Abby had lots of prayers for the orphans of the world. She was especially concerned about the orphans having to sleep on the ground, in the sand, with the "pokey" ground hurting them. She prayed for them to have jammies, toys, mommies and daddies. Oh yes, and she prayed for them to have lots of money so they could have food and clothes. Then, we said "AMEN," after which Abby asked...)
A: Why is there A MAN at the end?
We both laughed.
