A not-so-serious conversation

On the way home from small group last night I was listening to a worship CD from our church. The song was Jesus Paid It All. The line came: Praise the one who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead. Kaiya asked me what debt was and why I was singing about it.

I'm thinking -- perfect opportunity to plant a few little seeds in her heart. So I start explaining to her that a debt is something that you owe someone. And I went on to say:

Me: You know how you learned that we all sin sometimes?

Kaiya: Uh mama. I need to tell you something. Remember that time that I rode my bike in the driveway?

Me: Yeah.

Kaiya: That was fun.

Me: You're right. That was fun.

Ahhh... maybe another time. :) Such a brief little window of opportunity and then her little 4 year old mind goes in a completely different direction. I had to smile to myself.

I wonder what God thinks of my 28 year old mind. Sometimes, my spiritual attention span isn't all that much better.
