Bedtime Tidbits

A few snippets from tonight's bedtime conversation with Addie...

-Can God hear us everywhere? Even in outerspace?
-Is there a box up there that has a hole in it that our prayers go in?
-I'm going to be an astronaut but I need my space suit from preschool, but you'll (Cameron) have to go with me so no bad guys can get me.

Also, loving how 4 year old prayers can go... "I want to ask God for Mommy to feel better (I was tired from work) and for Emily to stop taking toys and share."

O Most Holy One

Before bed the other night (I'm paraphrasing Cam a bit here)-

Addie: What does "amen" mean, Daddy?
Cam: It means I believe.
Addie: What's the Holy Spirit?
Cam: It's the part of God that lives in us and that's always with us.
Addie: Can you see it?
Cam: No.
Addie: So it's pretend?
Cam: No, it's not pretend.
Addie: What's it do?
Cam: God's spirit stays with us to help us do good things.
Addie: What do you mean?
Cam: To help us be nice, to tell the difference between right and wrong...
Addie: What do you mean?
Cam: You know, being nice to others, manners, sharing-
Addie: (interrupts) -oh, the Holy Spirit helps me a lot then, because I am really good at sharing.
