I received a discourse in the car the other day from my 7 year old son. He was explaining the need people have that requires them to have food to survive. I told him he was correct, that without food, people would die and asked him what other thing people need in order to survive. "Water," he replied. I then proceeded to go into great detail about how people actually require water more than food, that you could survive much longer without food than you could without water. "A great schooling moment", I think to myself. He listens intently then says, "Mom, there is one other thing people need to survive." "What's that?" I ask, wondering what crazy thing he is going to say, probably something like "birthday cake", or "matchbox cars" or "kitkat bars." "People need to trust in God, Mom, those are the three things we need to live."
Food
Water
Trust in God
The three things the human race needs to survive. What a wise soul you are, my son! And I am humbled by your simple childlike faith in God. How He is an integral part of your everyday life. You taught your teacher something special on that day. I praise God for you!
