We always say prayers with our boys each night. Last night when I was done praying, Sweet Pea says, “Mommy, why do we pray? There is no God.”
My breath left me.
Me, “I believe God is real and that there is a God. (pause with a silent prayer) Why don’t you think He’s real?”
Sweet Pea, “Because I haven’t seen Him.”
“Faith. Believing in God takes faith. Faith is believing in something or someone you can’t see.”
The eyes of a child many times see simple things, but many times cannot fathom not seeing the amazing, like God.
Being a child takes faith. An innocent faith.
At least, that’s what I believe.
