The other day Gabe and I had a conversation about strength. He asked me to squeeze his muscle and see how strong he was. As I did I said "Wow Gabe, you are getting so strong!" and his reply was "but I am not as strong as daddy, daddy is so strong he is even stronger than..." and a long space of time came as he searched him mind for the strongest person in the world. I was anticipating him to say Spiderman or Superman or even a Ninja Turtle. But after the delay of thought he replied, "daddy is even stronger than Jesus!" Wow, I stood there stunned. How do you reply to something like that? Of course there is no one stronger than Jesus I thought, but how wonderful that Gabe at 4 years old recognizes that Jesus has more power than even a super hero. And even better, how great in a child's mind that he can compare his own father to Jesus.
