We were in the car coming home yesterday, Cale was asleep. Ella took full advantage of his quietness and the conversation went like this...
Ella: Mommy, what kind of lakes do mermaids live in?
Me: Well, baby, mermaids aren't real, but if they were they would live in oceans-like at the beach.
Ella: Why aren't mermaids real?
Me: Because God didn't make them real.
Ella: Why didn't he?
Me: I don't know you'll have to ask him one day.
Ella: Well, how old will I be?
Me: Hopefully, that will be a long time from now.
Ella: Why can't I ask him in my heart?
Me: Well, you can. That's a great idea, but you have to listen for the answer very carefully. Because He speaks very softly.
Ella: Why does he speak softly?
Me: Because He wants you to learn to pay attention and listen for Him.
Ella: OH! (grinning.)
Ella: Momma, does God eat and take baths?
Me: Do you like to eat and take baths?
Ella: Yes.
Me: Then, yes, God eats and take baths.
Ella: Well, what does Jesus do?
Me: He sits beside God.
Ella: That's it?
Me: No, heaven has lots of stuff to do.
OH! The questions! She fills my days with joy and challenges me in so many ways. I have to pray often for the wisdom to teach her and answer her questions...whatever they may be!
