With the Christmas season we've been talking with L a lot lately about God and Jesus and Heaven. She's clearly processing it, but there's still a lot of work to do!
- I was reading L the Christmas story this morning. We got to the part about the wise men and the gifts they brought. I told her that is why we give gifts on Christmas. At that she said "Are we going to take some up to Heaven?" I said no. "Oh, maybe they can take them up."
"Who?" I asked.
"Mary and Joseph. They live in Heaven. Maybe they can take an airplane and get the presents and go on up. But they don't need to buckle up -- they're not real people."
(Evidently L is going through a theologically liberal phase.) - L pointed out a crack in the plaster of our bathroom wall. I told her it was broken and Daddy needed to fix it. "That's OK Daddy. You don't need to. We'll call God and He'll come down and do it."
- Stacy asked her if Santa was coming down the chimney tonight. She said, "No, he's coming from his house at the mall."
(Evidently Mommy shares some of the liberal tendencies...)
