God's town

overheard at the dinner table tonight...

"... thank You for our blessings, amen"

"pfffffffft"

"Owen, what was that? Do you know who we are talking to when we pray?"

"Who?"

"God."

"Oh... but where is He?"

"He's everywhere."

"But he's not in our town."

"He's not in our town?"

"No, he's invisible. He's in invisible town!"

Laughter erupted at the table in one of those "can't help laughing even during a teaching moments".

Oh, I love it when they come up with interesting explanations to explain it all!

Not long ago we were having difficuly finding something important that got misplaced. We said a little prayer and asked God to help us find it. A few minutes later CR was looking out the window asking if God was here yet. He thought that God would be driving over to help us look. He wanted to know if he would be driving a van!

Thanks for sharing this story! It made me smile.
