Around the breakfast table...

I was talking with the girls this morning and Doodles, my middle child who is almost 3, says "Why did Jesus have to die?"

My 4 year old quickly answered "Because that's the rules God made so he can rescue his children!"

"That's right Ellz!" I said and then told them about sin. I reminded them about Adam and Eve and how the cost for sin is separation from God & death but that Jesus came, died & paid the cost by taking on our sin on the cross.

Ellz sat and thought for a minute and blurted out "Satan is a mean blue and yellow snake!"

I said "Yes, but he can look like many things, a beautiful Angel for example."

And Ellz looked around the table and replied, "Yeah, or a piece of fruit!"

I love the minds of children! And so does God. Pretty sure He smiled over our conversation this morning!
