Today, during our morning devotions we studied Proverbs chapter 2. Like much of the book of Proverbs this particular passage exhorts the reader to gain wisdom, seeking for it like silver or hidden treasure. I wanted to impress upon the children the value, and importance of applying themselves to gleaning biblical wisdom. At the end of our conversation I noticed that Leah was particularly animated in her response to my query about why wisdom was so important. I decided to ask her, specifically, why she believed wisdom was valuable.
Because wisdom is what keeps you from falling off the bird.
*keeping a straight face* And how does wisdom do that?
*without skipping a beat* Because wisdom is what keeps you from jumping out of the airplane onto the bird's back - which can't hold you and so it flies low - and then you fall off, and land on a pile of gold.
*here Caleb sighs before uttering the following* Oh, Leah! Gold's not real.
And so ended our theology lesson of the day.
when these area all compiled in a bound format, I'll buy a copy! :)
ReplyDeleteNow I know why Art Linkletter had so much fun on his show when he would ask 5 year olds questions and see how they answered them. Mom
