"God moves it!"

Brian and I have decided to teach Joshua and Hannah parts of the Catechism (the basic principles of Christianity). We want to be sure they understand the basic principles of who our God is and what it means to serve Him. Throughout the day, while we're playing and just going about our daily activities, we'll talk about a few of these questions and we periodically introduce them to new questions.

As we sat down for lunch today, Joshua reminded us that we had not yet talked about our questions. So, Brian began asking both Joshua and Hannah:

1) "Who made you?" To which they both replied, "God"
2) "What else did God make?" To which they replied, "Everything"
3) "Why did God make you and everything else?" To which they replied, "For His glory."

(It's the cutest thing seeing both Joshua and Hannah respond to these questions with smiles of excitement!)

Brian then asked a new question..... "Why do things work as they do?" I think Brian and I were both anticipating the need to explain this question further for Joshua and we REALLY weren't expecting Joshua to answer, but he did!

When Brian asked Joshua "Why do things work as they do?" Joshua replied, "Because God moves it!" I think that's a wonderful way to answer that question! Things work the way they do because God moves them that way....it's God will....because God has decreed it.

This is going to be a fun journey!
