I don't see God, Mama...

DD is still sick today. I think she had a bit of a relapse because she wouldn't stop playing with her kuya. Telling her to stop is like putting a crab in a basket. It just wants to keep climbing out. So now she had to stay home and miss kumon class because she was still running a fever. I had to leave her alone in her room so I could take care of her kuya and get him ready to leave. Poor little thing cried herself to sleep. I came up to check on her later and had to put a wet towel on her head just to make the fever subside. When she woke up she saw me and cried saying that she felt lonely because kuya and I left her. She said she was all alone. She kept saying that on and on even after dinner. With tears in her eyes she said, "I don't like it when you and daddy leave me Mama. I feel lonely. I'm all alone." I said to her, "You are not alone, Aemu. God is with you." She said, "But I don't see God, Mama." "Well," I said, "He's inside your heart." "But I don't see Him" she said again. "Where is your heart? Point to it and show me where your heart is." I said. So she pointed to her chest. "Now tell me, do you see your heart?", I went on. She shook her head to say no. So I said, "Do you know that you have a heart inside your body even if you don't see it?" "Yes.", she said. "Well, that's the same thing with God.", I told her. "You don't have to see God to know that He's there in the same way that you know that your heart is there even if you haven't seen it. So you are never alone if God lives inside your heart." :) I think that was enough for her for tonight.
