Two year old Theology

It's awesome to see how to Josiah's faith and understanding of Jesus is already growing! I wanted to document these little conversations from yesterday so i don't forget them!

Yesterday, he had asked me to pray for him because his tummy hurt, but after I did, he said "but Jesus isn't helping me right now because I want him to help Grandma first.". So of course I explained to him that one of the awesome things about Jesus is that He can heal him and Grandma at the same time. But of course my heart just smiled to think that he would rather have Jesus help someone else than himself.

So then He asked "how many Jesus's are there? Because in my Bible, there are lots of Jesus's" and that of course led to me telling him that just like we have lots of pictures of him doing different things even though it's the same Josiah, his bible has lots of pictures of Jesus doing different things. And that even though there is only one Jesus, He can be everywhere. And I told him how He can live in my heart and his heart and anyone else that invites Him in and then he said: "Jesus will you come live in my heart?"
and "when daddy gets home I want him to ask Jesus to live in his heart too."

Last night we were sharing a dessert and when Mike asked Josiah if he wanted the last bite, he said "no, you can have it Daddy.". So I asked him why he gave the last bite to Daddy and he said "because i were sharing and God told me not to be selfish." :) :) just the night before, we had read a Bible story about how Abraham wasn't selfish when he gave the best land to Lot and how that made God happy and God blessed him even more since he didn't just keep all the good things for himself. Apparently Josiah was really listening! :)
