Today was another day of hit or miss daughter interactions, but the keeper for the day doesn’t involve me at all.
After our typical Saturday morning donut and library run, she had some space for doing her own thing. She proceeded to go into the guest bedroom, stand on the bed, and deliver a sermon. Her subject? The gospel.
We heard:
- John 3:16
- The doctrine of Christ’s being truly God and truly man
- The amazing state of a king in a manger
- The sacrifice of Christ on the cross
- Some basic motivational techniques, i.e. a call to action
It was humbling. My wife and I stared at each other. Who was this person who just ten minutes before was throwing a fit about cleaning up her room?
The truth: we are more responsible than we think for both our daughter’s tantrums and moments of insight. She’s listening. She’s watching. That’s humbling.
