Jesus Doesn't Need Our Crayons !

OK. Lindsay is mad at me. I laughed at her. Not because I was trying to be mean (what she said was hilarious!). But it hurt her feelings. She said I was making fun of her. Of course I didn’t mean to upset her. But sometimes she says things that are so cute and so funny that I can’t control myself. Here’s how it went. . .

We were dusting and sweeping and cleaning the bathrooms. We had the radio on to keep us motivated. Lindsay is an excellent duster (she has her own Swiffer!) I like to turn several radios on so we can hear the music all over the house, and we usually listen to 105.9 (which is a Christian station). The song “We Fall Down” by Kutless came on the radio and Lindsay was singing as loud as she could. She really gets into her singing, but about halfway though the song she stopped. Looked at me with concern. And said “I don’t think that song is right.”

I wasn’t sure what she disagreed with, so I had to ask.

She threw her hands up onto her hips and tilted her head to the side while she explained. . . “If we fell down and dropped our crayons at the feet of Jesus he would just pick them up and give them back to us. He doesn’t need our crayons! He makes color with his hands!”

You have to chuckle, don't you!

(If you haven’t heard the song, the line she was trying to quote is “We fall down, we lay our crowns at the feet of Jesus”. She was close!)
