There are two things that we really try to teach Nicholas about God. One is that if it's important to you, it's important to Him. We want him to know he can go to God with ANYTHING that's on his heart. The second thing is that God answers when you go to Him. So today was REALLY cool! The little guy has a cough so on the way home from school (I picked him up after doc appt #2) I told him we'd get him medicine. I had wondered why he used to cry and fuss over medicine but in the last few months takes it without a single complaint. This is what he told me:
"Mommy, did you know that when I was a baby the medicine was really yucky, but now it's not yucky anymore?"
"Really? I'm glad it's not yucky now though!"
"Yeah, it's 'cause I prayed and I asked God to please make the medicine not yucky anymore and then I had to take medicine and it wasn't yucky!! He fixed it!"
There's something so special to me about him starting to understand that God is real, God is there, and God IS listening to us! It reminds me about a childlike faith! His memory verse this month is about how all things are possible with God... I LOVE that he's starting to see this incredible truth for himself!!
