So, the other day we were reading the story Bible after supper....the story of the day was Daniel and the Lion's Den. Pretty basic, not alot of questions. Until our dear boy Kyle opens his mouth to regale us with abit more of a tale.
Kyle, " Daddy, do you know what Daniel said to the lions when he left the cave?" Daddy, "No, I didn't realize he actually talked to them..." ( Now we were totally confused, right?) Kyle, " Daniel said, See ya, and thanks for the pizza! Dad, lions don't eat pizza!"
Okay, so after that we were really laughing. Of course Kyle thought that we were laughing about the lions not eating pizza....but the truth of it is, you should have seen the look on his face! Absolutely priceless. To be honest, on my part it was also a little of a embarrassed, nervous giggle. Seriously, does he really think that Daniel had a pizza party with the little old lions? Actually, I think he does. It's not the first time we have heard an interesting addition to what we think are basic Bible stories. We will continue to have open lines on communication about these things and try to gently guide our children in truth. Maybe the Veggie Tales have got to go? Or should I be grateful that my kids want to talk about these things....
Lots to think about and lots to pray about. Especially when it comes to raising our kids in the WAY they should go!
Blessings to all of you who read this....
