God. A giant?

The kids have been asking so many questions about God lately.  It has been very amusing.  Elijah and Ethan have been saying how big he is.  In Ethan's head this translates = giant.  Lyla believes he can fly and pick us up with his strong muscles.  Ethan says that he would like to ride on God's shoulders, but we wouldn't be able to climb ALL the way up there so God would need to reach down and pick him up and set him up there.  Then Ethan asks me if God has toenails?  Elijah says, No way.  I told them that the bible says we are made in the image of God and that I think we must look something like him.  Elijah says Oh yeah.  God must have toenails.  To which Ethan replies, Well he wouldn't need any toenail clippers.  Cause he's God!  All he has to do is schick them off with his hand.  Ethan also thinks very intensely about how God squishes things with his enormous finger.  I love how they think about God and I love all the questions.  I also love the images they come up with.  Oh, to have the faith of a child.
