My daughter has a small children’s Bible. We read it to her before bed when she was little. Now that she knows how to read, she’s taken to reading it by herself before bed. Every once and awhile I ask her a few questions, just to see what is going on inside her little heart.
Yesterday, while we waited for the bell to ring before school, I asked her about it. The last story she remembered reading was about Noah and the Flood. I went through the typical questions, “What does that story tell us about God? What does that story tell us about people?” and so on.
Knowing that the bell was going to ring soon, I asked, “So what are we need to do because we read this story?”
“We need to pray to God and watch the news.”
Curious, I pressed a little, “Why do we need to watch the news?”
Without skipping a beat she replied, “So we can tell if a flood is coming.”
