I have to tell you all this.  Yesterday, I was driving the boys come from daycare.   I normally tell them that I missed them all day.  The 4 year old was mad at me for picking him up and putting him in his car seat faster than he’d like to move.  So, he said that he didn’t like me.  In an effort to change his thoughts and in turn, change his ways, I told him that I didn’t like him either and tickled him and said, just kidding.   That started a conversation about lying.  Well, I had to break it down so the 4 year old could understand.  Well, being a woman of faith, I told them that it’s a sin to lie.  The 4 year asked if that was why Christ died and I commenced to explain that he died to save us from our sins, one of which is lying. 

He had a good come back.  He told me that I’d sin then because I lied about not liking him.    I think he understood.  Just that simple event, reminded me that out of the mouth of a babe, the truth shall set you free. 

Cheers.
