God through the eyes of a 5 year old...
My son knows the basics of God. We have read bible stories and talked about how God created everything we see. He goes to church and may actually hear some stuff between trips out to tell him to behave. 
The other day he said (and I really don't know where this came from), "Thanks mommy for creating me." And I said well God created you, but I gave birth to you.
He looked at me eyes wide open, shocked, and said, "Really?!? I didn't know you were married to God before Daddy!".
Needless to say I had to explain it again...but I was laughing so hard it took me a few minutes to stop.  |

Was it Bill Cosby who did the show "Kids Say the Darndest Things"?? They seriously need to bring that show back, it's great. The pure innocence of children can be so amusing can't it? My wife and I have been thinking of having our first and I think she is OK with it but I just don't feel like I am ready yet. Is anyone ever truly ready?

This is just TOO CUTE!!!
Irishmom, you made my day, girlfriend! Yours was the very first thread I clicked on this morning, and low and behold, you've warmed my heart once again! Give the little guy a hug from "Aunt June" for me! Oh, how I miss that beautiful, precious, age of "little boy five year old!"
Thanks for making me smile! |

we learn and relearn everyday
Matthew 18:1-3
At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a child, had him stand among them, and said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven!
very cool stuff....... thanks for sharing. |

That was one of the greatest shows ever, I think Art Linkletter started it and Bill Cosby took it over or they both had shows that where similar.
