"Goodnight, Anna!  I love you so much."
"I love you more... I love you to the stars and back."
"I love you to the stars and back... but, Anna, I don't love you as much as I love Jesus.  I love Jesus, like... to the sun and down."
"Wow, that's a long ways, Cora!  I'm so glad you love Him that much."
...
"Anna, are stars bigger than Jesus?"
*nod my head*
"Anna, are whales bigger than Jesus?"
"Nope!"
"Wow.  I wish I was bigger than a whale, so that whales couldn't pick me up... so whales can't pick up Jesus?"
*nod my head once again*  "No, Cora, remember - God can be everywhere at the same time!  He made the stars and the whales!" 
"Well, I'm glad I'm not Jesus.  I wouldn't want to be a giant."

I'm glad I'm not Jesus.  How I love kids. =D  And boy, do they have their own way of teaching you (it's not called "the faith of a child" for nothing)!  The thoughts that ran through my head that night?  "She's SO RIGHT!"  My God is a BIG God.  Yes, I've got a God who can be everywhere at the same time.  I've got a God who can be in Heaven, hover over the earth, and reside in my heart all at once.  I've got a God who can "send lightning bolts on their way" and "snow from their storehouses", who can "bring forth the constellations in their seasons", and "shape the earth like clay under a seal"!  I've got a God who can do some pretty amazing life-changing work in the hearts of men - in mine!  My God is the very one who "gave understanding to the mind" and "endowed the heart with wisdom".

I forget just WHO my God is way too often.  I'm more blessed than I know...
'Cause I've got a God... ohhh, yes - my God?  He's more than all that.  I've got a God who's bigger than a whale! ;-)

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."

My, has Nana been a handful these past few months! But, oh, the memories I feel we shall all have (that we otherwise wouldn't) now that she's been here! I really think that this is going to continue to teach us so much... reality really seemed to butt into her this last week, and it's affected not only her own demeanor but that of the entire house. Through it all, the Lord has been reminding me that, no - Anna, no, you don't always know how to simply love . My life should be different from others because of the love in my heart, and my life has definitely needed more of it... as God is showing me! Showing me how to love Nana, and how to keep a heart of compassion, and the heart of gladness and servitude towards her and her needs. How to love Mama, as she struggles with not only the everyday needs of her household and homeschooling her handful of children, but her own mother's health issues - of all times, cancer! - and the strain on her and Nana's relationship b...
