"God Made Me That Way"

With the older two kids we have starting taking them on a monthly date with either Mom or Dad. This happens on the day of the month that their birthday falls on. So every 30th of the month Autumn will get to go on a date with Mom or Dad. Usually this will entail either going to Starbucks or Sonic for an ice cream treat. As our family grows bigger we finding that it is important to have special focused time was each of the kids.

So last night I took Autumn on a date to Sonic. As she was sitting up front next to me while we ate our chocolate, coconut cream pie shake she noticed that someone had placed some coins in the vents on the van dashboard. Here is how our conversation when down:

Dad: Taylor was probably being naughty and did that when he was your age.

Autumn: I am more naughty than Taylor is.

Dad: Why do you think that is?

Autumn: 'Cause God made me that way.

I didn't feel that a conversation about the mystery of God's sovereignty vs. man's responsibility as it pertains to our obedience was age appropriate so I just said, "Huh... That's cool."
