God is Bigger then the Boogyman

        Not what went through my head when I was talking to my kiddos at work tonight but something near that did go through my head. We were are sitting down watching a movie before bed and the boy that has a lot of disbabilites out of them all said something that shocked me. One child asked me, "Who was that guy on the movie?" We were watching Mulan 2 and the king came out. I said, "He is sort of the king."
         Then the little boy said, "He is up there" and I was like, "You mean on the TV?" and he was like, "No, God is up there!" and it seems like this boy said it randomly out of nowhere. Then that got one of the little girls talking about how big God really is. She said, "God is bigger then me." I responded back, "He is even bigger then me" and that seemed to surpise her and she couldn't get it. It was just neat trying to see someone get it and a little child at that but couldn't. It is just a reminder of how even as adults we will never get how big God really is until we see Him.
            I was also thinking while I was talking back and forth to these children about a lesson my community small group went through less then a year ago. It was actually the last full one that I went through with my group. It was about how God made the earth and space and how big He really is. That study called us, human brings, just a dot in space and it is true. Adults might look big and scary to children but yet there is someone greater and bigger then us, adults. Just think how big God would look to a child if we are big to them. They have a better view of who God really is then we do.
          Then while that was happening another God thing was happening. One of my little boys was "teaching" one of the little girls how to pray. It was cute because the little girl was repeating the words the little boy would say. I was thinking how easy does that look and is for children but then as adults it is hard. We should be able to tell someone about Christ or even pray with them like this little boy did. It was the simple prayer "God is Great, God is Good. Amen" or that is what I heard at least. God knew I needed that dose of Him tonight like that because He sure gave it to me. I'm glad He did too. Those moments just made my night.
