A Child's Perspective on Grace

Just a short blurb. My son and I were standing at the front of the church one Sunday during worship. It must have been 13 or 14 years ago. We were singing to the song as the hand written transparency was projected on the screen.

This was a particular praise song that had the refrain "His grace is sufficient for me." I can't even remember the whole song right now.

At one point Jason was trying to say something, and being the little guy that he was, had to pull on my pant leg to get my attention. I picked him up and had him lean close to my ear so I could hear his voice over the music...

He said, "daddy, are you singing, 'His grace is fishing for me'?"

I stopped singing and thought..."No, but that's a better message than we are singing."

That's my boy...way beyond me. Hearing as a child.

Out of the mouths of babes. His grace is fishing. Wow.
