children of Light

For you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth),trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Ephesians 5:8-10

We went on a hike with the whole crew on Good Friday. Hike being used very loosely here but hey, we were outdoors, we walked, there were trees. Hike.

We spent the weeks ahead of Easter reading through the same several stories in our Jesus Storybook Bible and it was incredible to watch our kids be interested, ask questions, and begin to understand the truths of Scripture and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

A lot of questions got asked, but specifically, for reasons I'm not sure about, they were very interested in Satan and why he chose to leave God, and where did he come from, and even, does Jesus love him?

I could say we perfectly answered every question in a manner that was 100% understandable to an 18, 4, 3, and 1 year old but clearly, that would be a slight lie. But I did love love love working through these conversations and questions as a family. We talked lots, prayed, sang, and hopefully, began establishing patterns in our family in which we seek Jesus together. Pursuing goodness, righteousness, and truth and trying to learn daily what is pleasing to the Lord.
