A few quick updates.
Anna is asking about God:
-Can God see me?
-Why can't I see God?
-Why does he watch me?
-What about angels?
I'm sure these questions are a result about the God stuff they talk at her Lutheran school. I told her God is invisible. When she asked why I told her because he is energy and you can't see energy itself but you can see the result of energy. She asked when can she see God and I told her people can see God when they die. She giggled at that and seemed satisfied!
Then why is God watching me? I told her God and angels watch her to help keep her safe. She asked how do they do that and I told her that they tell her quietly when something looks not safe and they help her decide not to do things that aren't safe. I told her that's why she shouldn't be scared of monsters (her foremost fear) and also because they're just pretend anyway.
Right? Well there's obviously more to this that's best saved for later.
She asked if God likes her because she's cute! I told her God loves her because she is kind and loving and sweet. She says, "AND CUTE?!" I told her God doesn't care what she looks like. And she was bummed about that :)
These are super great questions! I love it! How powerful to know that she has a few angels/spirit guides/call-it-what-you-want helping her along in life if she learns to listen to them. Sometimes life is noisy. Wouldn't it have been great to grow up as a kid with that knowledge?
I have seen time and again and experienced time and again in my daily activities guidance and answers from something other than within. I have no doubt the great inventors and those who excel in their passion or fulfill their goals in life do so with lots of outside help in addition to their own inner drive.
What a powerful thing to know as a kid: if you have a life's goal and recognize it, the power is available from many different places for you to achieve it.
