Easter Sunday dinner with our friends: Five year old Jack sat at the head of the table. My roommate asked him, “So Jack, do you know who Jesus is?”
“Yes,” he replied, “they nailed his hands and feet to the cross and he died.” Jack hung his head down and closed his eyes to illustrate his point. Then he bolted upright in his chair, flung his arms out to the sides, opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, “God raised Him up and he was ALIVE! Okay, now you tell a Jesus story.” My roommate began. We both told a few and after each one Jack said, “Tell another one, please.” We told several stories and had a great time.
The conversation went from records of Jesus to stories from the Old Testament. Jack’s mom told about the DVD they watched about Moses getting God’s people away from the Egyptians and parting the Red Sea. After dinner this story became a rousing game of Moses the pirate fighting the Egyptians and the bad mermaids. Of course Moses and his crew (the rest of us) won the battle and a great Easter was had by all.
Love, Carolyn
