Theology in the Eyes of a Child


Jesse asks us a profound question as we are driving away from night church. We are silenced. Why God would ever entrust His creation to folks like us I will never understand.

"If we are to God like a speck of dust, how can He live in us?"

Good question!

"Jesse, we are almost to your grandparents house. Ask them!"

Grandpa told Jesse, God is a spirit and not restricted to size.

To see ourselves as a speck of dust is where we begin the extraordinary journey of glorifying God through the lives we live!

first - love the photo!
second - what a great question! God is molding hearts, may you have many more good questions! You've had plenty of practice i'm sure. :)

Sarah, the theological mind of these children! Is it not something? I am sure Penny has already given you a peek into her spiritual thoughts!
Good stuff. Isn't it a privilege to be in these children's lives?
I love the photo too. The photography's site is listed on the blog on the side.

Blessings!
Lynne

Just discovered your blog - where have I been!? I am, needless to say, SUPER happy and will 'catch up' often this way.
