One child's theology!

This morning my youngest daughter and I were walking through our neighborhood.

We saw another woman approaching in the opposite direction and my daughter asks, "Who's that Mommy?"

"Pfft, I don't know." I reply.

The woman passes us and I smile and we all say "hello" to one another.

My young daughter looks at me and asks again, "Mommy, are you sure you don't know that lady?"

"Ummm Sweetheart, do you think Mommy knows everyone in our neighborhood?"

"Of course you know everyone." she replies.

"Now how would I know everyone?" I ask her, genuinely interested in her response.

"Well," she explained patiently, "You know Jesus, and He knows everyone in the world."

"So," I said laughing, "I guess that means if I know Jesus, than no one is a stranger and everyone is my friend?"

Her response?

First she giggled, and then she said, "Exactly!"

And you know what?

I think she's on to something!
