Living as a mom

Archive for May 27th, 2009

We read the story of Jesus being crucified a few times per A2′s request recently. I wrote about that experience in my blog post, Mom is Learning About Faith. She seemed intrigued by the story. A few days later C5, A2, & I were drawing pictures. A2 decided to draw a picture of Jesus being beaten.

While she was drawing, A2 explained that Jesus was “banged up” because He loves us, and He died for our sins.

I am amazed at her understanding. Before she started drawing, she told me that she wanted to draw the picture of Jesus. Often times when young children draw pictures, their ideas of what they are creating changes as they progress with it. But A2 did not veer away from her original idea the whole time that she was drawing. She was focused on showing me what she knows about Jesus.

If she’s doing this at 2, I can’t wait to see what she does when she’s older. God has an amazing plan for this little girl!
