Smackers for God!

As I was getting Jace ready for bed tonight we were winding down and chatting about God. I read Jace 1 Thessalonians 5:16 {Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is Gods will for you in Christ} and was explaining to him what it meant. I told him that God wants for us to be happy, that He wants us to talk to Him about anything and everything, and to be thankful for our life even when it is hard. I told him that God does so much for us to be thankful for. He got a puzzled look on his face and asked, "like what?" so I listed some of the things God did for us today: gave us healthy bodies to run and play, gave us time to spend with friends and family, and gave us a beautiful day to enjoy. Jace looks up at me and says, "I just want to give him a big ol' smacker on the lips cause He sure does love me!" My heart just melted! I sometimes think that he is still too little to really grasp things, but this kiddo gets it. He gets it more than a lot of adults I know!
