I have to finish with a funny conversation I had with the boys on our way home from tae kwon do. We had listened to the CD from their Christmas program for the 3rd time today and Away in the Manger had just finished.
Henry, 'Were Mary and Joseph Jesus' real mom and dad?'
Me, 'Yes.'
Henry, 'But, Jesus is Gods' son.'
Me, 'Well...yes. God helped to make Jesus. But, Joseph helped to take care of Jesus when he was born and while he was growing up.'
Charles,' When were God and Jesus born?'
Me, 'Well, God just was. He wasn't really born. Jesus was born a very long time ago.'
Charles,' Oh.'
Henry, 'Now, Jesus is dead and he lives in Heaven.'
Charles,' Where are Mary and Joseph?'
Henry, 'They're dead too. They live in Heaven with Jesus.'
Charles,' How does God get us to Heaven?'
Me, 'I don't really know. He just has a special way.'
Charles,' Maybe we climb up a stairs or a ladder.'
Me,'Maybe.'
Charles,' Do you think God just drives on a road when he takes us to Heaven.'
Me, 'I'm not really sure. The Bible doesn't tell us how God gets us to Heaven.'
Charles, 'I think He might climb to the top of a tree and jump really high.'
