I was planting flowers in the front flower bed - it was April and beautiful whether. Rock had gotten up from his nap before Cozy (doesn’t usually happen), so he came to see how he could help. His job was to water the newly planted flowers as I planted. He was really quiet and all of a sudden he said, “Mom, what does Jesus do?”
I thought, “hmmm, how do I answer that to a 2 yr old.” I said, “Jesus loves us and helps us”.
He said, “helps us what?”
I said, “well, when you are scared he helps you relax and go to sleep. When you are sad, he can help you stop crying. When you are hurt he can take the pain away. You just have to say a little prayer and he will listen to your prayer”
Rock said, “and when you die he helps you come alive again?”
Completly blown away I said, “Yes Rock! “at this point I’m feeling like just about the best mom for having such a smart little 2 year old.
Just then a fly buzzed by and he said.“Mom there is a fly out here.”
And I said, “oh ya, lets squash him.” And I clapped my hands together (like to squish him).
Then Rock looked at me, shocked that I could do such a thing, and said, “lets pray for that fly and Jesus will make him come alive again.
