A conversation with God...

Last night Emily was in bed and she kept telling me she was scared. I think she could hear the suspensful music from the movie Mike and I were watching. So after the movie I went in and laid down with her for a minute. She started chatting as usual and the subject of the morning came up. She said, "mommy, God will bring up the son in the morning and then we can get out of bed." I said, "Yup, but it isn't time yet." and she said, "Mommy, Jesus is coming back soon." And I said, "He is." And so I asked her why is Jesus coming back. And she told me, "because he loves us and wants to be with us. He is going to come down from heaven and get us." VERY surprised she not only knew that but was telling me very adult like, I told her that she was right and asked her who told her that. And she looked at me, Like Duh mom, and said, "Jesus did". I said Jesus told you that? And she said yes, and even pointed to where Jesus was when he told her. Then she went on to tell me how Jesus lives in Heaven and loves us and then repeated the whole thing about how Jesus will be here soon. I was shocked. We talk about how Jesus lives in heaven but haven't gotten as far as he is coming back and so forth. I've asked around, my parents, nursery workers, family etc. and no one explained that to her. I'm not totally sure who taught her that. Maybe someone will enlighten me on that end! Anyway, I've learned we should never under estimate what God can help our children understand. And you never know, maybe God did talk to her!!
