A Child's Understanding

Saturday was a long day for us. We all went to work with David and got home a little after 2:00. We tried to take naps but were unsuccessful. We got cleaned up and headed to Madison to shop - Home Depot, Lowe's, and Wal-Mart. We needed groceries and the kids had earned prizes from the store. However, the kids were AWFUL - they climbed and jumped on everything, knocked and pulled stuff off the shelves. We got their prizes but told them they were not getting them until they showed us how big girls and boys were supposed to act. On the way home the kids were having a conversation when all of the sudden Dannah says, "Can I pray to God?" We said ok and looked at each other curious as to what she was about to say. Dannah said, "God, I forgive you for acting bad a not minding my mommy and daddy in the store. Amen." Then, Jameson said, "God, thank you for the man that found my Spartan. Amen." Even though Dannah got her words mixed up, God knew what she was saying. It blesses my heart that God is working in their lives - it is only by the grace of God that they have an understanding of His forgiveness and mercy!
Later I found out that during Wednesday night church they have been talking about sin and asking God to forgive us so that Jesus, our light to God, would shine in us! They understand so much more than we give them credit for.
