A while ago someone asked Sage what her daddy did (for work) and she said, "He plays!" This is actually a pretty accurate description considering we usually only see Ryan at church during the game and song-worship portion of youth group. So, last night I explained to her that after the songs are over (after we leave to go home and go to bed) Ryan teaches the kids about Jesus and also encourages the kids to be more like Jesus. Fast forward a few minutes later in the conversation and Sage and I were somehow discussing how some people like Jesus and some people don't ...
Sage: But, some people didn't like Jesus and so he died.
Me: You are right, Jesus died.
Sage: But then he rose again!
Me: (super duper proud mom!) You are right Sage! Jesus rose again.
Sage: Well, there was probably a wand and someone probably waved it over Jesus and then he came alive.
I wanted to start cracking up ... but she was so sincere in her add-on to the story. I gently explained that wands are just pretend and don't even work when Dora uses them on T.V. I went on to say that it was God who rose Jesus because He is so powerful. Not sure if she got it but she didn't mention the wand again. Needless to say, this story will be told for many a generation to come!

"It'll do magic, believe it or not! Bippity Boppity Boo!"
That is the cutest funniest story! It is a strange concept though, especially when we(I) always stress the finality of death. I am still answering questions about when God is going to let Thumper come back. If He can bring back Jesus, why not other things/people? Anyway, I love these moments when they are trying to figure things out!
I ditto Michaela...Sage is sooooooo smart! I love the story!
Don't ya hate that? Just when you think they're "getting" it, too! That is so super funny, I love it!!
That is so cute, kids are so facinating to listen to. They are learing so quickly, taking in everything around them and assimilating all that info... sometimes it just merges together in the most amusing way... after a while they begin to sort it out... then they know it all... (and you know nothing...) then they realize they may be wrong... and once again... ta da... the parent is so wise... bippity boppity boo!
