meditatio at the water's edge

A conversation tonight with Anna, my three year old daugher, as we stood at the refrigerator with the door open.
She puts a cross necklace around her neck, looks at it, and looks up at me.
Anna: Jesus died on the cross dad.
Dad: Yep. Where was Jesus born?
Anna: In a stable.
Dad: Yep.
Silence as we walk to the couch from the refrigerator.
Anna: Jesus missed us when he died on the cross dad.
... that's some theology to ponder.. out of the mouth of babes...
