Big Boy asked me over dinner last night, "Mama, does God sleep?"
After several moments to take it in, I answered "No. He's always awake so he can answer our prayers any time of the day."
Big Boy ponders that one for a moment and replies, "Then is he like us?"
"No" I answered, "He's God. He's not human. He is so much more."
This got him really thinking. "So does he have legs?"
"Yes."
"Does He have arms?"
"Yes."
"Does He have toes and fingers?"
"Yes. God has all his limbs." I say. At this point, I'm stumped. We go on to discuss that he may look like us humans but he is God. That means He is capable of much more than we are. The rest of the conversation was about how God is there for us, but He is not like us. He is Almighty. He is Everlasting. He is Most Powerful.
Quite a conversation with a 4-year-old inquisitive mind.
And one that reminds me that this Mama job is still the best gig I'll ever have.

Boys are so darn cute sometimes....
Little Boy is growing so. doggone. fast. I can hardly keep up. So I gotta keep track of the latest "Little Boy Speak" before it changes. Because it does daily.
One of his very favorite things to do these days is to sneak up on you and try to surprise you. Except he announces himself way too early. It's adorable....

Mama! I sneaked on you!!
