From The Mouth of an "Almost" Three Year Old...

We have been struggling this week.  Three's are  turning out to be MUCH, MUCH tougher than two.  So this could not have been timed more perfectly.....

 Almost every night, as part of their bedtime routine, John and Audrey read something out of her picture book Bible.  She has been very interested in the passage about the good Samaritan, along with several other passages that tell of Jesus dying on the cross and rising again.  Through these stories, they talked about how some people don't have Jesus in their hearts and they do bad things because of it.  One day, she told John that Jesus was "crawling on the ground (after being beaten) so that he could live in HER heart."  WOW! WOW! She also showed me a picture of Jesus carrying the cross and said, "He did that juuuuuuuuuust for me!" Talk about a proud moment. But it made me wonder, if a three year old gets it, why do we struggle so?
