Last night, the boys and I trekked out to Walmart to get some V-day goodies for Hallie. When we left the store it was raining outside. Joseph said, “Daddy, it is really raining out! It is raining omnipotent!” It took me a minute to figure out what in the world he meant. Then I remembered that we are learning I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art for family worship. The second verse begins, “Thou are the King of mercy and of grace, Reigning omnipotent in every place…” I burst out laughing, longing for the day when those words stored up in his little heart will lead him to the throne of grace.
As we drove away, Joseph simply asked, “Daddy, what does ‘omnipotent’ mean?”

Now that is a beautiful thing. The young innocence of our sons and daughters is a joy matched by few other things.
By the way, if I’ve never told you the story about “take me down to the river of life where I will nurse no more” catch me when you’ve got a couple of minutes.
Also RE “shalping.”
