A Conversation About Priorities

May 3rd, 2010 § 1

Josie can now have little conversations. We are working on her understanding of God as the Creator of life, and just as importantly his nature of love. So I ask her all the time, “Josie, who made you?”

She gets focused, a serious look on her face, a sweet voice, “God.”

“And what is God?”

“ove.” (She doesn’t say her L’s well.)

“That’s right, God is love, and he loves you always, no matter what.”

Josie and Thomas

So all this sort of talk led to the conversation I had with Josie last night, “Josie, who is your favorite?”

Same focused look, serious face, sweet voice, “God.”

I really wasn’t expecting that answer. I was expecting, “Bomas.” (Thomas, our dog. Her T’s aren’t real good either.)

“Wow, that’s a great answer. Who else is your favorite?”

“Pizza.”

Smart little girl.
