This Little Light of Mine

So on March 28,2011 I picked Cainen up from school and he was singing "This Little Light of Mine" from music class, he said to me "Who do we not want to blow it out?"  I said "Satan or the devil".  He began to ask who the devil was and I explain about him being the "bad" guy and that he liked sin.  He asked if God like him and I said no, he said well is God going to beat him up?  I told him that when Jesus comes back to take us home to Heaven, that is when he would defeat or beat up Satan.  He said who has bigger muscles, mom??? I said God and just smiled because in Superheros there is always someone that has bigger muscles!!! That was about the end of that conversation.

Well the next night he came in the kitchen when I was cooking supper and said "What's that guy's name again?"  I said Satan/Devil.  He asked what did the devil do for God not to like him so I explain that he was one of God's angels and he was jealous of God and that he wanted all the power so God kicked him out of Heaven.  Cainen asked then where does he live now??  Hmmm.....  I said Hades, then he asked what it was like in Hades, so I told him in the best 4 year old terms that it was hot and everything burns, and that it is a very sad place forever, not like Heaven and that is why we believe and trust in God.  Cainen said " Well God burns too, he's the burning bush!!!!!"  I was shocked!!!! He put the two together! but I further explained that God is not a burning bush that God just chose to speak to Moses through the burning bush.  I thought this conversation would never end and afterwards I told Cliff we better learn the Bible front to back before he beats us in knowing everything!!!!!!

But I love the fact that my child knows the Lord and is interested in learning more about HIM!!!
