The Good Samaritan...

Sometimes I wonder what Griffin's perception of God is...I know he sees some of the just side of God when we discipline. I've really been challenged lately to share Christ with my kids and others by recognizing God more in our everyday aspects of life. I want to point them to the unbelievably gracious nature of God, and I always feel like it's hard to adequately express that. Today I was sitting with Griffin while he was playing with 2 little motorcycles. He was showing me one of them and explaining that it had a flat tire and there were no "tire-fixers" anywhere around. Then he said as he pulled the second motorcycle to join the first, "Mommy, look what God did! He sent this motorcycle so he could help this one that's broken down! That reminds me of the good Samaritan!" It was so neat to see him thinking of God that way and connecting a story from the Bible to his "world."
