Passion
Today Annada ran up and grabbed my hand, “Come on Mom, come play God with me.”
She already had Dad in tow. “Okay, you be God, I’ll be Jesus and Daddy will be the soldier.”
Then Annada kneeled down by the couch, “God, is there any other way?” she asked. She paused for a moment. “No there is not,” she said.
Then Annada used bubble wrap to make a cross and gave Daddy jump ropes for nails. “You have to put me on the cross,” she told Daddy.
At this point, all three of us had tears in our eyes.
Marc laid Annada on the cross and put the jump ropes on her hands and feet.
“God, forgive them,” Annada said. “Here’s my spirit.” Then Annada closed her eyes.
A second later she popped them open, “Mommy, you be the women and put me in the tomb.
I picker her up and laid her on the couch. Annada, Marc and I were all crying. Marc laid a blanket over her. Then he counted to three slowly.
Annada popped out with her hands over her head. “Quick, Mommy, come to the tomb. I am alive!”
I picked Annada up and we cried together as Daddy put his arms around us both.
Very impressive, Annada.
I’m so glad you know the story of how Jesus died for us.
And then rose again!
Very special!
