An interesting conversation

I have forgotten over the summer how interesting it can be to listen to someone's conversation on a topic. It my case, that someone usually turns out to be students in my classroom. Today was no exception. I was trying to be productive and do some reading testing on my students but instead I found myself listening in on a very interesting conversation. Sometimes 6 years old can amaze me with there simple faith.

Mind you, the students were suppose to be working on a math paper where they were putting numbers in order. I still have quite figured out how this topic got introduced.

Bobby: You better not do that cause God is watching you.

Diamond: How is he watching me? You better tell me how he is doing it.

Bobby: He is looking down on you from heaven and watching what you do.

Ale'iah: Jesus is watching you too.

Bobby: He sees everything you do.

At this point I was interrupted, so I never heard how the conversation ended, but it still struck me how simple the faith of my students was to know that God and Jesus were watching over them and knew everything that they were doing. It makes me think about my own need to simply have faith that God is there and is watching over me.
