Inside the Mind of a Child

Samuel-"Please help the scientists not be stupid, and help them to stop saying that Pluto is not a planet."
Gabriel-"Thanks for our pets and our food and water and all the animals and the Holy Spirit and all the angels."
Gideon-"Jesus, please help me to go to Heaven soon."
Now that last one may sound scary, but I know why he is saying this. We've talked about it a lot. The kid actually wants to go to Heaven!
Kids are so much smarter than grown-ups most of the time. No wonder Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:3)
