We teach M biblical and theological truths by teaching her catechism questions. We're working on a question "Can God do all things?" The response is "God can do all his Holy will." In Sunday School, we teach that all things happen according to the will of the Lord.
Yesterday M said, "Mommy, I'm going to get a baby at my house."
Shocked, I said, "You are? Where is that baby going to come from?"
"Well, from God."
"You are right. God does give families babies to love, but only in His perfect time."
Sigh. "Yes, Mommy, I knowed that. But God's Holy will is for me to have a baby at my house. And he's going to sleep in my crib and I'm going to sleep in my big girl bed. And he's going to wear baby diapers, but not me because I a big girl now. And I read my fravorite stories to he." (and on and on and on)
Out of the mouths of babes.
Later, I asked if this baby was going to be a boy or a girl, a brother or a sister.
"Oh, he's going to be my very own baby shister."
That's right, friends. God is going to send us a baby boy that will be M's little sister.

Sweet, sweet child...yes, God IS going to grant that prayer to your family! M, I love you so dearly. Oh, Nat. She makes me just smile. *sigh*
oh my goodness, that is the sweetest! What beautiful childlike faith and innocence.
Awww! She's right! Except maybe about the whole boy sister thing. LOL.
I like the sound of God's holy will as seen by M!!
