Out of the Mouths of Babes...

Setting: Dinner table eating a corn/rice pasta concoction.

Maddy: I hate water.

Mommy: You need water.

Maddy: Water isn't good for me.

Mommy: You need water because your body is made mostly of water.

Maddy: Really, mommy? Why did God make us with water?

Mommy: I don't know. Only God does.

Maddy: Why can't we hear God.

Mommy: Actually, you can hear God you just have to know how.

Jordyn: I hear God.

Mommy: (surprised at her declaration) You do?

Jordyn: Yes.

Mommy: How do you hear God? How does he talk to you?

Jordyn: (thinks for a second) In my head and in my heart.

Mommy: (in awe of her little girl) So God talks to you in your head and heart?

Jordyn: Ya.

Mommy: What does he say?

Jordyn then goes on to talk at length about how when she does something naughty she turns on her head and her heart and she remembers all the things she's been taught. For example, she marked the table with her ruler at school today. When the teacher asked who did it, she admitted that it was her because of God talking to her head and heart. When she does good things, like eating all her salad today, she hears God tell her "brilliant, Jordyn!"

Mommy: Did someone tell you about this or did you figure it out yourself?

Jordyn: I figured it out myself.

Mommy: (amazed, joyfull, humbled) ........
