Conversation w/Kailey & the kids tonight putting them down to bed:
Me: “Kailey, Emily, Nathan, I love you very much.”
Them: “I love you, daddy.”
Me: “You know how much I love you?”
Emily: “Bigger than the sun.”
Me: “Yeah, but you know what? There’s someone who loves you more than daddy.”
Kailey: “God.”
Me: “Right! He loves you SO much.”
Kailey: “Yeah, and he loves everyone. Daddy, does God know even my friends at school?”
Me: “Of course, Kailey.”
Kailey: “Does he know the 1st graders and the 2nd graders?”
Me: “Yep, He knows everyone in the whole universe. And you know what? God even knows how many hairs are on your head. Kailey, do you know how many hairs on your head?”
Kailey: “Hmm, let me count. One, two, three … wait, let me count in 10’s. Ten, twenty, thirty …”
Me: [laughing] “Kailey, you can’t count … there’s too many. But, God knows.”
Kailey: “Aw, I wish I could pull out my hair and count.”
Me: “You still can’t count. You don’t know, but God knows.”
Kailey: “Then why doesn’t God tell us if He knows?”
Me: [silence] “Good night, Kailey.”
Nathan: “Night!”
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. - Matthew 10:30
