After Jessica's Christmas program last night she asked me if I videod the song By His Wounds that was sung during the play. I told her I did but she can also listen to it on YouTube. She told me she couldn't watch it on YouTube because the man with blood all over him upset her. I then realized someone had made a video for the song using scenes from the movie The Passion. (That's what I get for letting her use the computer without me in the room!) I was upset that Jessica had to see that. My standard answer is always, "That's just a movie. It's not real." I couldn't say that last night. I told her that was Jesus...It was a bittersweet moment I'll never forget. For the first time I was speaking of Jesus not as a character in a book called the Bible. He is real and the story is real. Seeing it through a child's eyes, the emotions stirring inside her about what she had seen in the video is what we should all feel everyday.
