Where Is Jesus?

This morning, as we were all busy getting ready for church, I asked the toddler, "Are you going to learn about Jesus today?"

His response was prompt. "No," he said, "Jesus at school and. . . Jesus in a magazine."

Stifling a laugh, I asked, "So, Jesus is at school and in a magazine?"

"Um-hm," he replied.

A few minutes later, I asked my question again: "So, are you going to learn about Jesus today?"

This time, he was emphatic. "NO!" he said, "Jesus at SCHOOL." (Like, "Did you get it that time, Mom!?")

"Sweetie," I said, as I sat next to him on the couch, "that's true, Jesus is at school. He is in our house, and in the car, and everywhere! He is especially at church! And he's in your heart and Mommy's heart. Jesus is everywhere!"

He thought about that for a while. "And Daddy's heart?" he asked.

"Yes, and Daddy's heart."

When we picked him up from Sunday school, I asked him, "Did you learn about Jesus?"

"YES!" he answered and gave me a big smile. :)
