This morning my 4 1/2 yr old daughter and I were having oatmeal together. It was a beautiful morning and the boys were still sleeping which made it a quiet house. Mackenzie and I were talking about God and how much He loves her. This led to talking about Jesus also and I began telling her how Jesus was a carpenter while he was here on earth. One thing led to another and before I knew it I was trying to explain to her that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are three separate beings. (thinking about the Trinity here) She gave me a sly, out of one eye kind of look and said, "So, God and Jesus are two separate people?" I replied, "Yes." She said, "Okay, because the other day Dad told me that they are the same."
Ugh. Try explaining the Trinity to a 4 year old. Not easy.
