Benjamin's prayers lately have been, "Jesus, Thank You. Praise the Lord. Amen."
I think my prayers could take a cue from him.
….
While I was cooking dinner, Benjamin was wandering around the kitchen, mumbling/humming snippets of songs and story book lines, mostly about Christmas … "perfect light, perfect light … Jesus Christ is here, Jesus Christ is here … manger, manger … " and so on. Then all of sudden, his face lit up and he yelled, "Hi, Jesus! Are you here?! I'm so glad you came!"
Oh, the faith of a child!
….
His favorite bedtime story right now is "Dan-ul and the Yi-nins." There's a page in the book full of lion faces, and the words say (explaining why they didn't bite Daniel), "Because God shut their mouths!" Benjamin loves that page and can recite the words when we get to it, but lately he's been modifying it a little … "Because Mommy-Daddy-God shut their mouths!"
I suppose later on we can correct this faulty image of the Trinity :) but right now I'm fine with him believing we have that kind of power to command obedience!
