Most people know that my youngest grandson, LP, has a pretty straightforward view of life. When you are tired, you take a nap; when you are hungry, you eat; when you are not sleepy or hungry, you play; and when you are hungry for marshmallows, you eat the whole bag! Last week, he revealed that he knows the answer to pretty much any question.
On Palm Sunday, my daughter and son-in-law were working in LP's Sunday School class. As the teacher had the children gathered around her for the Bible story, she asked, "Do you know what next Sunday is?" Before she could get the question out of her mouth, LP shouts, "God!" We all laughed about that story when my daughter told us and it was a cute story. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that LP was right. The answer to pretty much all of life's hard questions, is God! The most amazing part of the whole thing is that LP is only two-years old and yet, he knows and accepts what many adults refuse to acknowledge. Maybe that's why Jesus told His disciples that we would need to become like little children to inherit the Kingdom. My prayer for all of us, is that we would become more child-like in our faith and love for Jesus!
I love you, buddy!
Some might call that being too smart for his own good...
