Today we were in line to leave the school, I looked across the parking lot and saw the Officer who gave me a ticket had gotten someone else and I said sarcastically, "Oh look Officer G has someone else pulled over" Drew said "Who is that?" so I reminded him it was the same one who gave me a ticket. He then replied, "You don't like him do you?" I said "Well let me put it this way- he isn't one of my favorite people. " (Here comes the Children's Church Lesson...) Drew then says to me, "You know mommy, the Bible says you are supposed love everybody even if they are bad or very bad or mean. Everyone should be like Jesus and love like Jesus- so that means YOU are supposed to love Officer G even though he wrote you a ticket when he shouldn't have. It's just like that guy (he was talking about Judas and when he betrayed Jesus) that was mean to Jesus but you know what? He still liked him and told all the other guys (the Disciples) "I will return- y'all are my friends" So mommy you just need to love that officer." He said "Did you know all this mommy?" I said "No" just because I like for him to "think" he is teaching me something. He then said "Well you are certainly lucky to have me around cause you wouldn't know all this stuff" Then he says, "Oh look, there's Jesus hanging on the cross. Maybe we should stop so you can pray. Would you like to do that?"
