Of course, you know that small children do say things that older folk find amusing. This comment was made while a young person was being wheeled around and around in the Fairbanks Wal-mart: “I wish we needed all the things that we want.” I guess that it is well known by this person that God does, indeed, meet all our needs.
Someone was having a ‘focus problem’ in a recent church service. A parent quietly whispered about a potential consequence and added, “Do you understand me?” This small child replied, “No, not all the way…but I don’t want to, especially.” I am glad to know that honesty is important (to that child) although complete obedience needs more work!
