Super Powers

Carter announced to us last night that he has two super powers: the power to pray and the power to love. I don't know where he learns these things, but those are some really profound super powers. He's into superheros and asks us all the time what our super powers are. We joke around with him saying that our powers are something funny. For example, the other night, I said my super power was the ability to construct any meal with creamy chicken soup. He thought that was a sad super power. Well, sure, if he's got those great powers of prayer and love. As we sat at the table, he explained to me that God is everywhere. He is 14 hundred, 3 in 1. I started to correct him on the 1400 part when he said "what I mean is that God is everywhere. In every place. He's in the living room. He's on my arm. He's in my heart. I know he's in my heart." Nathan told him that not everyone believes in God and don't want him in their hearts. He asked Carter what we should we do to these people. Carter said "We just tell them! God is real! He is everywhere. He just hides, you can't see him, because he's invisible." It reminded me of the passage where Christ says to his heavenly Father, "you have hidden these things from the learned and wise and have revealed them to little children" (that's paraphrase).
Carter loves to tell people about God. On our way back from vacation, we had a long lay-over in Atlanta. As we waited in a gate area, Carter set up a church service. He explained that I would need to move my stroller because this was a church service and if I didn't move it, not everyone could see. There were some poinsettias around and he said they were there because there was going to be a wedding. But not right now. Right now was going to be the church service. He lined up me, his daddo, his brother, and three toys in seats and he stood up in front of us and preached a sermon. He said about everything he knows about God and then charged his congregation to love God. After the service was over and we walked off, he told one man to learn more about God. This man was from India and I'm pretty sure he didn't understand very well what Carter said and he smiled really big and Carter yelled "Happy Christmas!" and waved as we walked off. Then we had to take an elevator as we were changing terminals. An elderly lady in a wheelchair also entered the elevator. Carter said something about God and really old people - as Nathan and I tried to divert everyone's attention off of the loose cannon. Carter may be ready to tell the world about God, but we need to work on his tact. She was pretty old though. I don't think she could hear him.
