The conversation this past Thursday morning on the way to the doctor’s office…

Ellie: “Its too bad we don’t have a God”

Mom: “Ellie, what do you mean we don’t have a God?”

Ellie “‘Well, where is he? I can’t see him”

I guess I knew these questions would come sometime…i wasn’t thinking they’d come at three.

So it continues…

Mom: “He’s everywhere.”

Ellie: (looks around) “where”

Mom: “Do you think maybe he’s in heaven, up in the sky above the clouds?”

Ellie: (after thinking for a minute) “No, mom, God’s not a fairy,…He’s a people.

I’m thinking, she’s seeming to have this all figured out…

I guess I really didn’t have to worry too much about what to tell her because a minute later she pipes up and says “Mom, maybe God could just sit in my cup holder if it was cleaner…there’s some crumbs in it.”

I simply responded, “maybe he could.”

conversation over. (for now, I’m sure)
