Theology with Annalie
June 17th, 2008
After brushing her teeth one night before bedtime and apropos of nothing, Annalie wrapped her arms around herself and addressed the mirror:
“I’m gonna give myself a hug, like this, and when I do I am really giving God a hug. Because God is up there, but He’s also here…” she placed her hands on her heart and continued, “…so when I hug myself I am really hugging God! And you know, God is a kid to me, because I’m a kid, but He is really GINORMOUS!” She opened her eyes spread her arms wide. “And sometimes we think He is only up there in the sky, but He is also really here in my heart too.”

wow! that’s so lovely!! :)
Wow, I am very impressed with your little girls understanding of Christian theology.
She’s so precious. Sounds like she could teach us all a few things!
I pretty much cannot wait to hang out with you!
That’s totally precious. Good job, Annalie!
Kids know how it really is. That’s for sure!
She’s got it right on the mark.
So sweet!
I’m grinning at the beauty and truth of it all.
That kid. Adorable :)
Last week SuperChic climbed all the way to the top of the pine tree (30′-40′) and declared, “I can see heaven!” When she got down she told me she liked it up there because she could talk to God.
That is so beautiful. Annalie has such a great understanding.
