Ok so this one isn’t so much as laughable. It’s more of a “sigh! I love this kid and he’s really getting it” type of moment! 🙂
We headed to our local Christian bookstore today because hubby wanted to buy a new devotional book for Little E. The other devotional book that we had was getting a bit to young for him so we wanted something that he could grasp on to more.
(For the record, I hate picking out devotional books……I never know if they will be really good…and you tend to not see too many reviews on them from your friends.)
So, we found one. Little E looked at it over and over and over and over and over again in the car ride home. He was so excited (it had pictures that were of biblical things…not little kids and puppies). While he was looking it over he came upon the picture where Jesus is on the cross dying and he was very concerned and asked a lot of questions. We answered them…tell him that Jesus died on the cross and three days later he rose again. (He pretty much knew this from church anyway…so really wasn’t new information).
After our devotion for today he wanted to go back to the picture of Jesus on the cross. He was asking why there was two other people on the cross…and if they used handcuffs and the likes. We gave him the answers and then hubby pointed to a lady at the bottom of the cross. He said “Little E do you know who this is?”
E said, “NO”
Hubby: “That’s Jesus’ mother. She’s sad because Jesus is dying.”
Little E says: “Well she only has to be sad until Sunday and then she can be happy again.”
Melt. My. Heart.
So simple and yet so true. Out of the mouths of babes. I love it.
