Knowing God

This morning Honour made the following statement:

"Mom, most people don't know God."

I asked him why he thought this to be the case. His response caught me completely off-guard:

"'Cause they don't like his rules."

That - I feel - was a very keen observation for a little three-year-old. Needless to say, the thought process requires some fine-tuning. But I do so love these discussions with this young man!
