Jesus in the bathroom

As I lay convalescing from the demands of a particularly grueling day, I hear my five year old yell to me from inside our downstairs bathroom.

"Mommy" she hollers, "is Jesus with me even when I go potty?"

Too tired to be diplomatic I holler back, "Yes dear, Jesus is with us everywhere we go. Do you have a problem with that?"

There was a brief pause, the toilet flushes and then my daughter's smiling face appears.

Laughing in that chortling kind of way that only five year olds are able to laugh she says "No Mommy, it's ok if Jesus is with me in the bathroom, because Jesus always looks at our souls not our private parts."

"You got that right!" I replied as I laughed and gathered her into my arms and smiled into her hair.

Jesus is real.

He is with us everywhere; and if, on some level that creeps you out, don't worry, I have it on good authority that Jesus always looks at our souls not our private parts!
