Conversations with James . . .

Lastnight, as I was putting James to bed, we were having a conversation about God. I was trying to explain to him that God is everywhere, always, and so you are never alone.

Me: "God is always with you. Even in the middle of the night, if you wake up scared, God is with you and you can always talk to him because he is your friend. Because of God you are never alone."

James: "So, if there is only one person with me it's God. If there's one more it's Mommy, if there's one more it's Daddy, if there's one more it's Lukey, if there's one more it's Baha." (his favortie stuffed lamb)

Me: "Yes, James."

I guess what happened after proves the point of a quote I had read earlier. "A mother is God in the eyes of a child." Since he woke up in the middle of the night, scared of monsters, he came running into my room as fast as he could and shut my door and stayed the rest of the night with me. I had thought maybe he might just stay in his room for one night and talk to God . . . ;)
