The other night Seth prayed, "God, please make Peter stay a baby forever!"
Oh honey, I like him as a baby too, but God didn't make him to stay a baby forever! God has plans for him as He grows up, just like he has plans for you. We love and enjoy him as a baby now, and God will help us love and enjoy him when he's big too!
(I lecture him and myself!)
"What would you say if I prayed to God that you would stay four forever, would you like it if He said yes?"
"No mommy! I want to get big and go to school!"
So he understood the lesson, and better than the giver of the lecture, who would be perfectly happy if God allowed her to stay 30-something forever.
But God has plans for me as I grow up too, so I'm told.
