How strong?

Snippets of a conversation with Sydni in efforts to reassure her of safety at bedtime last night:

Sydni: "Mommy, are you really strong?"

Mommy: "Yes, Sydni, I am really strong."

Sydni: "Is Daddy stronger?"

Mommy: "Yes, Daddy is even stronger than me! But do you know who is the strongest?"

Sydni: "God!"

Mommy: "You're right!"

Sydni: "God is strong all the way to the sky!"

Mommy: "Even farther! He's stronger than everyone on the earth put all together!"

Sydni: (long thoughtful pause...) "God is strong all the way to heaven!"

Mommy: "Even farther than that!"

Sydni: (another long thoughtful pause...) "God is strong all the way to Africa!"

Mommy: (laughing) "Yes, Sydni, He's strong all the way to Africa...and farther!"

*I think it's so awesome that God can remind us, even through our kids' eyes, how infinitely strong and powerful He really is. I'm glad His strength protects me too!
