What is your choice?

Yesterday I had the privilege of joining Paige at Kindergarten for the morning. It was delightful being with her and seeing what goes on in her classroom.

I even got to join her in art and I made a very nice picture if I do say so myself...maybe best in the class. That would be the first! (hee hee)

Moving right along...

It's crazy to me that I'm the mother of a Kindergartner. Life simply moves too fast!

dd

When Paige put on her shirt yesterday she asked me, "Mom is this shirt the right size for me?" "Oh" I said, "It's right, it's a small." To which she replied, "I wish it was a big."

dd

Yes, she is growing up!

dd

I was again reminded of this fact when she passionately told me of a conversation she had with a friend in school. It went something like this.

Paige: Do you know God?d

d

Friend: Yes, I do.

dd

Paige: Do you always pray to Him?

d

Friend: Yes, always.

d

Paige: Do you know Satan?
dd

Friend: Yes.

d

Paige: Do you know that Satan is bad and wants people to be bad?

d

Friend: No, he wants people to be good.

d

Paige: No, he always wants them to be bad.

d

Friend: No, he wants them to be good.
d

Apparently, they went back and forth for quite some time.

I'm not really sure how it was resolved, but Paige was quite upset about it yesterday.

d

When I asked her why she was upset she said, "I want her (friend) to know about God and Satan so she can choose if she still wants God's way or Satan's way."

d

"Which way do you hope she chooses?" I asked her.

d

"God's way!" she said back. Amen to that! dd

d

We had a similar conversation not long ago. She had done something naughty that night and I was trying to explain to her that the decisions she makes will either please God or Satan.

ddd

So I asked her "Do you want to make Jesus happy or Satan happy?"

dd

"I don't know" was her response. (which kind of freaked me out but I kept listening)

dd

She then told me to tell her everything I knew about Jesus and Satan so that she could choose if she wanted to be bad like Satan or not.

d

So I proceeded to tell her all about both and in the end she decided that Jesus was a much better choice!

This kid is a deep thinker. Lord, give me wisdom!
