Nathan:  “Mommy, let’s talk about my day.”

Me:  “Okay, sure. What do you want to talk about?”

[Nathan and I have this exchange about once a day – maybe more. Normally, however, this question is followed by “about how much I love you!”, so naturally I didn’t think his answer could get any sweeter.  I was wrong.]

Nathan:  “How I love Jesus a lot.”

Me:  “Yes, I know you do. He loves you too.  What about Jesus do you love?”

Nathan:  “Well, because I just love him because he showed up again.”

We then proceeded to talk about the tomb and the people who found Jesus to be gone from the tomb, etc.  I guess if a 3 1/2 year old can get the meaning of Easter, there are no excuses for the rest of us.
