faith like a child.

Tonight I was coloring with my 4-year-old niece. We were both quietly enjoying our own Sponge Bob works of art and she turns to me and says in a very serious tone, "I'm sad." So, I said, "Why?" And she replied with, "Jesus died on the cross today." I was astounded.

Then I said to her, "Well Faith, you know what happens on Sunday, right?" And she turns to me, and says, without missing a beat, "Jesus comes ALIVE!" She was so excited.

I find out later, that my brother in law had taken all the kids to noon mass for the passion play today. My niece doesn't miss anything, she's so smart. So naturally, she understood exactly what was going on.

It just really tugged at my heart strings to see a 4-year-old so excited about Jesus.

I wish everyone had faith like a child. Really I do.
