Not as Wise as Solomon

Tonight, Chris read the story about God giving King Solomon wisdom. God told Solomon, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you." 1 Kings 3 Solomon asked for wisdom.

Chris stopped after reading God's question to Solomon ("Ask for whatever you want me to give you.") and asked Wesley and Lydia, “If you could ask God for any one thing that He would give you right now, what would you ask him?”

Wesley immediately said, “For that stuffed monkey to be real.” He just named the first thing he saw. Chris said, “Really? You want a monkey?” Wesley thought about it and said, “I want a dog.”

Lydia thought it about for a few moments and responded, “I want my own iPad.”

Chris and I continue to pray for wisdom regarding how to raise our children but I don't think we will be granting either one of these wishes any time soon.

Kids seriously come out with the funniest stuff! And I'm sure their growth and wisdom will come with time and maturity. But at least now you have some Christmas gift ideas... :-)
