The other morning, after our morning devotion, somehow Caleb and I got on the subject of angels. I asked him if he knew what they were. Of course he didn't. But he does know what soldiers are, and he knows all about swords, shields, and fighting and all that stuff.
Well, I began to tell him about the angels of God... I told him how they were strong and powerful soldiers in God's army and how they could fly very fast and far because of their great wings... and how they fought against the wicked spirits in the world. As I told him all this and more, it was so cool to watch his little eyes come alive with excitement and wonder.
For the rest of the morning, he took a little plastic figure that was supposed to be a wise man in a navitity scene, and pretended it was an angel. It was really cool. I know one day that wonder and awe will be gone, so I'm going to enjoy it now. He's so curious... thats why I really try to entertain all of his questions as good, honest questions, because I know he's learning. And hopefully, he's learning not only a lot about the world, but that his Daddy loves him enough to take time to explain anything to him.
By the way, the photo on my profile is of me reading a Bible story to my boys. We try to read a Bible story and have prayer together every morning. It's really cool now because if I'm slow getting there... Caleb reminds me, "Daddy, we have to have our devotion!" Who can ask for more?
