Although we are Christians, our kids do not go to Christian school.
I was in awe (of his intelligence) and just realized that I may have inadequately instill christianity in them, after this incident happened.
I took Number One to go to an Adoration to the Holy Sacrament. It was the first time for him.
So the pastor said, "Feel the presence of the Lord. He is here with us."
Number One curiosly looked around. "Where? Where?"
When he found no physical being of God, he pressed me further. "Where is Lord Jesus, ma?"
Actually he is enthusiastic to the idea of meeting Jesus.
I could not answer him. Because it is quite an abstract concept. I don't know how to explain.
Then the pastor said, "Get into your inner being and feel the presence of the Lord in your heart.... Let Him enter your hearts."
Number One was not satisfied with my slow response. "Where is God, Ma?"
Inspired by the pastor I said, "inside our heart, son. He is in our heart."
He kept quiet for a few seconds. "How?" He asked.
"Excuse me?" I was quite puzzled.
"How did he get into our hearts?"
Well it is quite philosophical. So I answered the simplest that I could. "We hear the bible, it is the words of God. We think about it and we keep it in our heart."
He looked amazed. And puzzled at the same time.
Then he fire a question again.
"Do you mean Jesus is as small as an ant that he could climb inside our ears and enter our hearts?"
OMG...
Lord help me. Parenting is not easy.
