I talk to God

So the past month, I have been talking to Kris (my oldest) about a relationship with Christ. And why its important to say prayers and thank God for what we are given. And he has an amazing understanding, that sometimes I wish I had. We started talking about what he means when he says "God told me", when he says things that we have never even talked about. He said "Mom, you know. God talks to me, when I really listen.". I looked puzzled the day we talked about what names mean, when we studied Isaiah, and I asked him "Kris, do you know what your name means?". "Yes, it means I love Christ" I looked at him because I couldn't believe the amount of understanding for a 4yr old. His name means "Christ Follower", I asked him "how did you now that?" And he simply said "God told me, I listened and he told me" It truly is the honest truth! I love to see him just speak the truth, and have no fear to say "I love God and HE is awesome you know". I pray everyday that he continues to serve God and LOVE God so fearlessly and boldly!
"And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3-4
