Uptown Subway

on August 26, 2013

My 4-year old has been very inquisitive about God lately.

“Mommy, can God see us all the time?”
“Yes, he can.”
“Like Santa Claus can?”
“That’s right.”
“Why?”
“Well, God and Santa are very special and magical.”
“Daddy, God’s really good at making things, right?”
“He sure is, Bud.”
“Mommy, why is God so good at making things?”
“Because he’s the greatest, most talented artist ever.”
“Dad, do ya think God likes sandwiches?”
(… Silence, then stifled chuckles …)
“That’s a good question, Dude.”

I guess none of us will ever know about God’s love for Subway (or any
other sandwich joint) until we travel “Uptown” to meet him.

Hope this gave you a smile. Please enjoy your favorite sandwich today!

    Love your stories about conversations you have with your kids. My favorite sandwich is a cornbeef special.
