big head, big heart

i was driving home from the store with my little seven-year-old sister in the back seat listening to the oldies station when suddenly, out of the blue, she said "do you know that God knows you before you are born?" i turn down the music, surprised and her statement "yes, i do know that..." she continues "but did you know that God knows all about you--even before you are in your mommy's tummmy!?!" she is in amazement about this "yes, isn't that cool?" "and did you know that He knows all of the things you are going to do, and all of the plans He has for you, before you know them!?" whoa, i think, way to go sunday school teacher! "God's pretty cool like that..." dang it, i am not prepared with any cool responces at all! she stops, sits back and thinks before continuing "how can God think about all of the people in the whole world, all at the same time, all on the same day!?" is there any way to explain that? "that's how awesome God is! and he loves everyone just the same...all of those people..." she is quiet for some time, and i think that the conversation has ended, but suddenly she bursts out the obvious answer to her question "God must have a BIG HEAD!"

sometimes it takes a little kid to make you stop and think about things.....
