Out of the mouth of babes
Last night after church the boys were wanting a snack. I told them they could have half of a granola bar when we got home. They seemed okay with that. Nicholas tried to bargain for a chocolate granola bar to which I kindly said no. His response was, but mommy, I will split it in half and share with Joshua just like Jesus took a loaf of bread and halved it and fed all the people. I just had to laugh which made him question why I was laughing. I told him I wasn't laughing at him, just impressed he made such a good analogy to try to get a chocolate granola bar. He didn't even learn about this story last night which makes it even more fun. I just love that he is learning about Jesus and sees connections in real life that his four year old mind can equate things to.

That has to be the greatest analogy I have ever heard! Good job Joshua!
Such a smart boy! It's great to hear stories like that of children who connect with Jesus at such a young age. (By the way, did his argument work on you??)
That's awesome!! I love it. So, did you give in?
No, I did not give in. Although they did each get to have a whole granola bar, just not a chocolate one.
