With five children, I spend an excess amount of time saying silly things to them. Last week, I was joking around with my son Phillip and said, “We are Christians and Christians pick up their toys.” Phillip replied emphatically, “We are not Christians!” Surprised by his sharp reply, I questioned, “What are we then?” Without hesitation, Phillip declared, “Dad, we are people.” At the age of 3, Phillip is one of my greatest instructors of what it means to be human.
Amen.
