Lunchtime Conversations...Where is God?

Have I mentioned how much I love the kid God has blessed me with? He is so fun, especially now that his vocabulary is growing and he is able to really say what he means. He is so full of one liners which send D and I into giggles. I am seeing a very perceptive, contemplative, smart little boy burst forth. (Of course, I'm biased but it's true!)

Today at lunch, totally out of the blue, Kenson asked, "Where's God?" Um, I'm kind of amazed that has even crossed his mind. So we spent five minutes talking about God being everywhere, how He is in heaven and all around us and in our hearts. What a sweet time of sharing how God has been at work in Kenson's life from the moment Kenson was born, how God saw Kenson when he was in Haiti and how at the same time, God saw Mama and Papa. How God saw how baby Kenson needed a mama and a papa and how God told Mama and Papa to go get baby Kenson. How God still is in Haiti and how He sees Mama Juislene and the orphanage nannies and Conleigh. How God is always beside us to keep us safe and to help us when we're scared or have a problem. How God loves us so much He wants to be with us always and wants live in our hearts.

And after all of those touching thoughts, Kenson got a big smirk on his face and quickly said, "Brian [our friend's Papa) is here too!" And it quickly descended into a big silly story about Brian being in our house even though he really wasn't. Ah to be three!
