Anyway, we were doing our little devotional which, tonight, was about God loving us so much that He sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins. So, to bring it down to their level a little bit more, I said it was like one of them got into trouble for doing something naughty and mommy or daddy went and sat in time-out for them. Or if one of Miss Thumb Sucker disobeyed and had to get a spanking but Noisy Man took the spanking for her. It was really cool to see the connection being made on their faces. We have told them this time and over again. They can tell you very easily who Jesus is and what He did for us, but it was a really great analogy for them to be able to really understand it.
OK, so the real memorable part came a little later when we were doing bed-time prayers. Miss Firecracker chimes in "We thank you for Jesus and that we won't ever have to sit in time-out again or get any spankings because he died on the cross for us."
Hillarious! Of course I had to set the record straight and clean that up quickly, but we'll see what she says next time she gets into trouble.
