Pillow Talk

A funny conversation occurred last night as Jonathan and Aaron were tucking themselves into their own beds (somehow Jonathan ended up in Aaron's bed as the night progressed). Here's the dialogue I overheard.

Jonathan: You know, Aaron, we are sheep and Jesus is our Shepherd.
Aaron: What?
Jonathan:
We are like sheep, and Jesus is like a shepherd who takes care of us.
Aaron:
No, Jesus is God, not a Shepherd.
Jonathan:
Yes He is, but the Bible says that Jesus is the Shepherd and we are His sheep.
Aaron:
Oh, OK.

I just thought that was a sweet chat between the two boys. I always love to hear the most precious name we know coming out of their mouths. Maybe we could learn a lesson from these 6- and 4-year old boys, and let the name of Jesus be a part of our normal, everyday conversations too! What better subject to talk about?

Thank You, God, for Jesus and for the little lessons learned from Your children.
