She Does Listen…Sometimes

I often wonder if my kinder graduate listens to me. I may say, “Dinner is ready, put your toys away and wash your hands.” When she doesn’t move I ask her what I just said and she’ll reply “I don’t know” or “Dinner is ready” at best. So I had a most joyful experience when I was putting her to bed last night.

She asked me if I love her even when she makes a mistake and I said, “Of course, and God does too.” Then I asked her how she knows that God loves her. She said, without prompting, “Because He died on the cross to forgive my sins… He sent Jesus to die on the cross to forgive my sins.” So she’s knows the Gospel and she has some understanding of the Trinity. So I’m really happy to know she listens to what is truly important, but sometimes I wish she’d listen to the mundane as well.
