Tonight, Kate said the prayer before dinner. We all have our pretty standard way of doing this, but tonight Kate branched out a bit on her own.
"Dear God," she started, " thank you for our food. And pray for Daddy, wherever he is, that he have a good dinner too." Now it gets really interesting: "and take the stuff that I do wrong, well, I bring it to you and take it and put it with Jesus so he can die on the cross for our sins."
She has been memorizing John 3:16 as part of her speaking lines for the Easter music at church, so I guess she's been thinking about all this a lot. She doesn't understand it all yet, most people don't, but she's certainly considering it.
I thought that was such an interesting picture of repentance. Just take it to the cross so Jesus can die with it.
