Going to Kindergarten

When a five year old gets ready to enter Kindergarten, it is a big deal for Mommy and especially when it is your first child.  Our daughter Jill was having a talk with Karla about this new grand adventure she could hardly wait to begin.  The conversation went like this.

Jill:  “now you know that when you go to school, Mommy will stay home but you are a big girl and will go all by yourself….”

Karla:  “That’s ok.  Jesus will go with me.”

Jill:  “That’s right, but what about Mommy?  She will be home all by herself.”

Karla thought for a moment and said, “Well, you can have Moses!”

 Moses!  Karla gets Jesus but Mommy has to settle for Moses!  Maybe she thought Mommy needed someone to lead her around so she wouldn’t get lost!

Later in the day Jill decided to pursue the conversation a little further and explain how Jesus could be with Karla at Kindergarten and home with her all at the same time.  After listening to her mom’s theological explanation of the omnipresence of Jesus, Karla said, “that’s okay, Mommy.  I’ll take Jesus for two hours and then you can have Him for two hours.”
