The biggness of God is a difficult thing to teach to Ellie. We talk about how God made us and is powerful in and through stories. Ellie understands that we love God and he loves us. In modeling our faith, we talk to God throughout the day and about God when the opportunity arises.
The other day Ellie and I were talking as we drank tea and ate a snack and I suggested that we “talk to God about that.” Ellie just looked at me. “How can we talk to God?” she wondered out loud, ” but I don’t see him.” I tried to explain that God is always here with us. Even if we can’t see him, he can hear what we are saying. Ellie logically looked out the window and asked if God was outside (i.e. I can’t see him but he must be really close to hear what I am saying). I sort of agreed with that while trying to say yes and he is also here as well. Ellie simply looked out the window harder, maybe she would see God.
It’s not easy trying to describe God in a way my two year old understands. I mean, God is so big and indescribable can any of us fully understand him before we get to heaven? While I will continue to share who God is with Ellie, I realize how easy it is for all of us to go about our daily lives and not “see God.” Load after load of laundry coupled with loads of dishes to be constantly washed, stories to be read, a dog to be walked, toys to be played with and then put away; really, a never-ending life to be lived. Wouldn’t it be easier to spend time with God if we could see him? Like a friend coming over to spend time with us. And yet, he is here with us every moment of the day. Present, and yet invisible. I may not be able to see God visibly, but I want to really spend time with him every day.

This was good–especially since I was just complaining the other day re: dishes, laundry, etc., and the monotony of it all.
