Power

Each Sunday after we leave church we ask Jackson what he learned. We are usually met with a response of 'so and so took my crayons' or 'I colored a picture'. Jackson has great primary teachers.... he loves them dearly.... and I know for a fact they are teaching him great lessons each week, so it's nothing against them that my son can't seem to retain the lesson after class is over.

This week however when we were driving home Jackson piped up from the back seat, 'Daniel used his powers to get out of the lions den.' I asked what power is that and was met with a long pause '.....bakugan powers!'

Tonight we talked about this story again. This of course led to the talk of the bakugan powers. Have you ever tried explaining the powers of our Heavenly Father to an almost 4 year old. It's not the easiest thing. I was pretty sure I was doing more confusing than explaining as I answered his questions of, 'Does the power come from his arms or his legs?' or 'Did he shoot the lions? Was his power with guns?'

Yet somehow we got to a place of understanding. A place where we both came to peace with the fact that those powers are sometimes unexplainable. But they are amazing.... and we both decided we are glad we are able to feel some of the blessings of those powers and see those blessings in the stories of others.
