Yesterday on our way home from church, Martini asked, "what does adopt mean?"
"To adopt is when maybe a child's parents die and that child is then given to another family to take care of them and love them, or maybe a mommy and daddy have a baby and they can't take care of him and they give him to another mommy and daddy to be his parents. It's a very loving thing." I told him.
"Oh." he responds.
"Also, it's what happens to us when we believe in Jesus. We will be adopted as heirs of His kingdom. We are all a family. We are children of The King!"
"Oh, O.K.! But that hasn't happened yet. It will happen when we are in heaven."
"Yes, Martini. That is exactly right. Your theology is perfect." MyLove tells him.
"This is what Jesus promised us in the Bible." I tell him as he smiles ear to ear with excitement.
