Friday Funnies

Melody--who is doing a wonderful job teaching her children to trust God in the midst of suffering--sent us this funny story about one conversation that didn't go quite as expected:

I was talking to my kids (age 8, 5 and 3) about how God is good even when things don't go our way.  (we've had a lot of health problems in our family)
I said, "Is God good even when Grandma is sick for a long time?"
"Yes!" was the resounding reply.
"Is God good even when Daddy had to have brain surgery?"  Again I heard a chorus of "Yes!"
"Is God good even if you don't get any more Build a Bears?"
This question was met with silence and surprise . . and finally a round of hesitant agreement.

Nothing like bringing it down to what's important!

See you all Monday,
