Ansley loves to sit on the counter while I cook dinner. Sometimes she helps, sometimes she just talks to me while I get everything ready. It never ceases to amaze me what goes on in that little head of hers. This was tonight's conversation:
A: "Mom, am I in sin to God?"
M: "Well, yes baby you are... Sin is when we do something that God doesn't want us to do. What should you do?"
A: *slumps her shoulders* "Do what He asks to the first time?"
M: "Well, yes, but if you do something God doesn't like you should ask him to forgive you, tell Him you're sorry."
A: "Mom, can you do that for me?"
M: "No baby, you need to tell Him you're sorry yourself."
A: "I can't!"
M: "Why not?"
A: "Because I haven't done anything wrong yet!"
The conversation went downhill from there. I got really tickled when she said, "Do what He asks the first time?" because that is an ongoing lesson around here. But there was definitely truth in her statement. I pray that she continues to seek after God and the truth and that I am ready to answer her questions.
