Tonight as I was tucking Graham into bed we had the following conversation.
G: "Mom, do you think when Jesus comes back he will want to come here to see ME?"
Me: "Of course, he loves you so much."
G:"Will he still have his nails in his hands?"
Me: "No, he doesn't have the nails in his hands. Just the marks that show where they were."
G: "Why did he have those nails in his hands?"
Me: "Remember those wicked men put them in his hands because they didn't believe he was the Son of Heavenly Father."
G: "Yeah, he was like this (putting his arms straight out to his sides) and he had those other two guys that were by him."
Me. "Yes, he did."
G: "Mom, did you know that Jesus has light in him? He is so bright that I have to do this (puts his hand to his brow) Do you think he's really bright, or is he just a little bright? Why is he so bright?"
Me: "Well, he is perfect and pure and holy, which is probably why he is so bright."
G: "Mom, do you think Jesus likes us to talk about Him and His light?"
Me: Getting choked up as I explain to him that not everyone knows or understands who Jesus is and what he did for us. So of course He likes us to talk about Him and His light because everyone deserves to know who He is.
I think I have an old soul on my hands...I'm worried I'll run out of answers for him before he's five.
