Growing up and sorting out things is sometimes easy…and sometimes hard. That said, its fun to watch as Cole works through ideas. Tonight, it was a combination of thoughts on Jesus mixed with his ideas/fears about us leaving him with a babysitter.
Tonight putting him to bed, I told him “I love you. Daddy loves you. Jesus loves you. Even Elmo loves you!” He smiled and said, “Jesus come down here.”
“Yes Baby, we want Jesus to come down here. But we love him in our hearts and we can talk to him any time we want to.”
“Jesus came down before,” he said.
“Yes,” I answered. “Jesus came down. Then he went back to Heaven for a while. We can’t wait for him to come back.”
“Jesus come back again. Mommy stay home. And Daddy stay home. And Jesus stay home with me and Alex.”
“Yes, Mommy and Daddy and Jesus are all here with you. We love you.”
We pray that this simple understanding and acceptance of Our Father stays with our precious boys as they grow and find that many areas of life are not always so simple.
