My little Miss Maggie is wise beyond her years. To be bit of a bragging Mom, she has been assessed at approx 6 years old when she is only turning 4 in April. I am constantly amazed at her observations and conversations. The honest truth is sometimes her 3 year old emotions don't always catch up to her 6 year old brain but that is another post.
Maggie is very into Easter and Jesus. She is trying hard to understand both cognitively and emotionally what it is all about. This afternoon at lunch she looked at me with those big blue eyes and asked, "Mommy tell me again why those people didn't like Jesus?" So I tried to share with her, to the best of my ability, why the "people" were mad at Jesus. Finally, as lunch was finishing, she said, "It is sad Mommy b/c they didn't let Jesus be their friend. Jesus is the best friend people can have. He really loves people."
Amazing! This kid gets it in such a simple and honest way. I am so proud of her in so many ways. I am not just proud b/c she is smart but b/c she has such a faith. Maggie loves God and truly believes that Jesus is one of her best friends. I have tried to teach her, be a role model and remind her daily of God's love. In one small moment she has showed me that she not only gets it but that she embraces it. Amen and Alleluia!
