From the mouth of babes

Matt, he can't stop verbalising his thoughts. He recently brought up God again, asking, "How does God do things for us?" We discussed it for a while, explaining how God mostly acts through the other people He has placed in our lives, and sometimes even directly, like giving us nice sunny days when we ask for them. Somewhere along the way, he suddenly declared, "God went up to Heaven so that He can be with us all the time."

I was stunned. We didn't see it coming because it doesn't seem related to his original question. Almost gives me goosebumps just thinking about it, even now. How does a little boy not yet five arrive at a profound truth like this, on his own, with such complete faith and simplicity? Is the "Force" extra strong with this one?
