I know it's been awhile but I had to write about the questions that my 7 year old daughter asked me tonight while tucking her in bed. I'm just in awe!!!
Analise: "Mom, my brain is thinking and I just don't know how to ask this...but how do we live?"
Mom: "What do you mean, how do we live?"
Analise: "Well Heavenly Father made us...but who made Heavenly Father."
It stopped me in my tracks....I didn't want to confuse her more with the answer so I just said well that is not something you need to worry about because we just know why we came here and what we need to return to live with Him someday and that is all we need to think about.
She was okay with that answer....we said our prayers and then...
Analise: "Mom, how does Heavenly Father hear all our prayers...because what if someone else was praying right now?"
Again...how is her brain thinking about these things at 7 YEARS OLD!!!!
My answer was ya know I don't know but I do know he answers and hears all of them. And then her real 7 year old thoughts said...yeah he probably has lots of ears!!!
Wow...I'm flabbergasted! I don't think any of these questions were on my mind until High school. It's amazing that I can have these conversations with her now. So next family home evening is going to be on Faith....
