Amazing Wonders and Thoughts it Provoked

Last friday at dusk, the boys saw a double rainbow. It was Jordan's first rainbow he has ever seen. He was in awe! It was very pretty and so vibrant! It had stormed pretty good and we went outside and witnessed a perfect rainbow, the full arch from end to end and shortly after for a faint while was a second one on top of the first. If you are on facebook and have friends in the area, a lot of the pictures were posted out on facebook. Jordan was explaining to Charlie, Cooper and I how God lives in the rainbow and he made the rainbow and the rain. Cooper said "no the green guy lives on the rainbow". For a minute, I had a perplexed look on my face, thinking well God isn't green what is he thinking about. Then he said, "you know the green guy with the pot of gold...the lucky charms guy. It dawned on me, "you mean the leprechans?" and then Cooper told me that's what he meant to say! Jordan's response was so darn cute. When you don't think they are really listening they are. At a young age our kids have learned that God has created a beautiful world around them and that God makes things happen. I pray that it sinks in and snipits like that puts me at ease knowing that they know their God is amazing. To them, I have said before, they equate his powers to Batman or Spiderman.
I remember taking notes in my bible next to this in Genesis because I love rainbows and the connection I feel when I see them, "Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."  Genesis 9:16
A couple days later they got into another disagreement. The boys and I have been listening to KLove in the car because I am getting sick of the main stream country and I really enjoy the christian music channel (in the triangle, it's 106.7). The boys get a good message and they really enjoy the music too. I love when they are running around the house singing, "he reigns, allejuhah he reigns..." I will take it where I can get it and if it is listening to that in the car and they get it, then great!. Seems we are in the car a lot! Back to the disagreement, the disagreement came when out of the blue after one of the callers had called in to speak to the DJ and she was speaking about how God came into her life, Cooper asked me, "Mom, is God really alive." and to that response, I said the first that came into my head and I said, "Yes, he is Cooper, we just can't see him but he is like an angel in heaven watching over us." Then Jordan chimed in and said, "Yes, he lives in the rainbow." Cooper then disagreed and said, "No, Jordan he lives on a cloud and I bet it's really soft and the angels are up there too." Then he said, "I bet they just hop from cloud to cloud." So to put that argument to rest we just said he lives on both! Then I was driving thinking to myself...I have two kids discussing where God lives, and it didn't turn into a shouting match but a nice discussion....Hey, at least they know there is a God and they are speaking of him. From time to time, they ask questions about Jesus, God, church, and have questions regarding their faith. At least they are thinking about it, that's more than I can say I did at 3, 6, or 8! Just turning my station to KLove in the mornings, we start our day off to a good day! They are praising him and don't even realize it!
