The doorbell rang today, I looked outside, noticed no car but a man standing there. During the day when I'm home alone, I don't answer. But what do my two boys do? Run to the door screaming Mommy someone's at the door! Then proceeded to unlock it. I ran to them, getting there before they finished unlocking it and gave the firmest scolding and lecture that I could muster. Even though the saleman could probably hear us, no I did not open the door still. It's just not safe. After talking about safety, Ethan asked me this question, "But Mommy, what if it was God?"
So here's my question to you, how would you have responded? I'd love to hear it. Then, I'll post my response later this week.

That is too cute. Although I am not sure how I would have responded, other than with a giggle.

I may have, "Well, God would knock only if Daddy were home. He would want us to feel safe and protected in our house." Of course that would have come out after a little giggle. I wouldn't be able to help it.

How about - "Well, if it's God, he can come on in - right thru the door and not have to wait for us to answer!"
Well my answer was just like Kristie's. I said that if it was God then he wouldn't knock because He could just come right on in.
