Cute Question from My Cute Daughter

     I get kind of wistful when I read and hear of the adorable things that little kids say to their parents.

     I remember those days. I kind of thought those cute sayings and questions were all in the past.

     Until yesterday.

     Jessica: "Mom, do think God was tired after He created everything?"

     Me: "Well..." him haw him haw him haw "I can't imagine God being tired."

    Jessica: "Oh."   Silence...

    Me: "Why would you ask that?"

Jessica: "Well, the Bible says that He rested on the seventh day. Why would He have to rest if He wasn't tired?"

    That's a good question. I don't have the answer. All I could come up with was that maybe God was just trying to show us what we need to do after we work hard all week. I sure can't imagine that God gets tired--but then again, we are created in His image. Well, it's definitely food for thought.

The word rest in the Bible is defined in many ways. One is this: To cease from action or motion, as in a musical pause...a pause in reading poetry or prose...a pause to view with satisfaction what has been accomplished. I hope God doesn't get tired--I'm afraid I'd weary Him too much!!! Aren't children sweet and so basic in their understanding! That's a cute story, Laurie. Thanks for sharing it.

I just liked that fact that she was thinking about God's words while we were walking. Thanks for the definition--it makes sense that God would want to enjoy His own creation.

I love hearing about kids and their conversations. These mommy days are happy days, aren't they? And your children are blessed with such a special mommy, that's for sure!

The Most Important Thing You Can Know!

Do you know where you will spend eternity one day? If not, here's how you can know:

1. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." The Bible says we are all sinners. Sin is hereditary--we were all born sinners because Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden.
2. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." A wage is a payment. We must pay for our sins and they way we pay is by death. Everyone is born once, and everyone must die once. But the story doesn't end there--Jesus, God's only Son died on the cross for our sin and paid the penalty for us. All we have to do accept the gift of salvation. We can't work for it, go to church for it, or be good for it. Faith in Christ alone is what will save us.
3. Romans 10:9 says, "But if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." If you know that you are a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and resurrected--and if you know that He did that for YOU, all you have to do is ask Him to come into your heart and save you.
4. If you would like to accept Christ, just ask him now--it's the difference between Heaven and Hell.
