FROM THE MOUTH OF BABES… (real life – names are changed)
Sam (age 6): Mommy, I have a theory about adultship
Mom: Oh yeah… what’s that?
Sam: When we are on Earth we are like babies to God, and then we get to heaven we are adults. It’s like the experiment is over. On Earth we are learning, like an experiment and then when we go to heaven it’s over and we’re done learning. We are like babies to God. I’m like 7 months, Bubby (age 3) is like 4 months and Sissy (age 7 months) is like a spec to Him. And you’re like a child to God. There are people in heaven 10,000 years old. Much older than us. So while we’re here we are always learning.
Bubby: How are boogers made?
Mom: my boys… if you don’t know them you’re missing out. Their personalities couldn’t be any different at times, but they make my life so rich!
I think the take-home question for all of us is… when John says “God is Love” (not just God is loving), what might that imply about God having a purpose for this world?
