Leif & Jesus

It's a beautiful thing to hear Leif talking to Jesus and about Jesus. Here are just a few of the conversations I've recorded in the last few weeks:

Charles took the boys running early one morning. When he pointed out the sunrise to Leif, he thought Leif said, "Jesus is arriving." Arriving? So he asked him, "What?"
Leif said, "Jesus is here."

Looking in the mirror with Leif.
Me: Look Leif, we look like each other. (He looks and smiles)
Leif: But your face is darker than my face.
Me: Yes, your skin is lighter. Maybe you got light skin from daddy.
Leif: Yeah, from hugging him and wrestling with him and stuff.
Me: Well, you got some things from mommy and some things from daddy because mommy and daddy made you.
Leif (very serious): Mom. God made me.

Leif and Soleil sitting on the front porch. Leif said that he was a good pirate because he had died with Jesus and come alive again.
Soleil: But Jesus is dead.
Leif: No he’s not! He came alive again.
Soleil: But he lives in that place where people go when they die.
Me: That’s right he’s in Heaven, but he’s alive.
Soleil: But we can’t see him.
Leif: Yes we can. You just have to close your eyes and I usually see him. Try it.
(short pause) Soleil: Oh yeah. He’s wearing a white night shirt.
Leif: And he’s as bright as moonlight!
Soleil: No he’s not.
Leif: Yes, he is. Jesus is as bright as moonlight!
And then Leif proceeded to repeat that over and over with Soleil telling him to stop. :)

Charles: Why do you like that story so much?
Leif:Because he saved me
