Yesterday, to the best of my understanding, our biggest boy got a splinter. At least that is what it appears to be, though I do not know how he got it since there is no wood in our house! And he had not been outside when it happened. Anyway, he cried and cried and said he wanted it out, and I explained how hard it is to get splinters out, and that it usually hurts even more to try to get them out, and how you oftentimes cannot get them even when you try. I told him it'll probably come out on its own in a few days.
So, all that to say, Jake was very sad to not be able to fix the problem at that very moment, and he asked me a precious question: "Mommy, when we go to heaven, will God get the splinter out?" :) Isn't it delightful when a child reveals that spiritual things are becoming ingrained in him? It makes me so happy that that is where his mind goes. Though we could do so much better at our spiritual training, I'm sure, little moments like that are very encouraging that maybe we're on the right track!
Oh...and praise God that yes, in heaven, there will be no more tears or hurt or evil...or splinters!
