Flower (the toddler) has been having several spiritual breakthroughs of late. This may be partly due to the excellent Stories Jesus Told book, kindly given on occasion of her dedication by Mr and Mrs Standard, which has simple, funny and beautifully illustrated versions of the Parables.
So, on Saturday morning over breakfast, I have my Bible open. ‘God!’ says Flower (I always tell her that it’s ‘a special book about God’. I’ve avoided the issue of authorship and inspiration thus far). ‘Jesus God!’ she says.
Sunday morning – Bible open (with slight feelings of guilt due to state of head after previous night’s party). ‘Luff God!’ says Flower.
This morning – Bible open. ‘Big God! Great big God!’ (feelings of fatherly pride mingle with slight feelings of distaste about the song being quoted).
Memo to self: keep going with the bible and the parables, but start her on Wesley as well.
