Inquisitive Little Girl




Anagrace has always been an inquisitive little girl. I cannot even begin to guess how many questions I answer in a day! Sometimes it gets overwhelming, especially if I don't know the answer or how to repond.

A few days ago her "theme of the day" was marriage. All questions about marriage.
"Will I get to wear a pretty princess dress like you did when I get married?"
"Can I marry brother?"...."Okay,then, can I marry cousin Parker?"
(I explained that we can't marry people in our family, to which she replied "But, Daddy is in your family!")


The theme lately has been about God and Jesus.
"How can he hear us when he's not in the room?"
"How does he take us to heaven?"
"Will brother go to heaven?"
I try to answer all her questions as best I can, so that her almost 4 year old brain can understand. Sometimes it is a challenge. I pray that I will be able to lead her to a relationhip with Christ by not only what I say, but by my actions. How I react to people and situations, that can be a huge chellenge! (I"ll talk about how I try to model good behavior in later post)

I was looking through your older posts and saw this one. I had the recent pleasure to hear Aliyah and Henry witness to their cousin, Zoe about Jesus. Zoe had never been to church b4, and was full of questions that Henry and Aliyah were happy to answer.
