My 4 Year Old Philosopher

10.16.2008 by Christian

Children can be a wealth of insight.

Ellianna asked me as we were driving to the doctor’s office, “Is this real or is this a dream?”

I replied, “Is what real or a dream?”

Elli: “Me.”

She soon clarified the question was in reference to the particular trip we were taking, but still, it was one of those moments where as a parent, you realize that your children at the various stages of childhood have all the insight and wisdom of man.  A lot can be learned from children, but we aren’t to rely on the wisdom of man but the wisdom of God.  Our children can come up with man’s conclusions on their own, they need us to show them who God is.
