<p>Have you ever answer one of your children&#8217;s questions and end up with a better understanding yourself? That&#8217;s what happened to me this week.</p>
<p>We were on our way to the pool and the kids wanted to know the difference between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (or Ghost.)</p>
<p>I explained it like this.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like H2O.</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s that?&#8221;</p>
<p>[Long explanation.]</p>
<p>I think of God like <em>water</em>. The wellspring of life.</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s a wellspring?&#8221; [Another long explanation.]</p>
<p>Jesus, God&#8217;s Son, (fully God and fully human) is who came to earth. I think of Him like <em>ice</em>, we could finally touch God. He is still H2O, just in a different form.</p>
<p>After Jesus died on the cross, to pay for our bad choices, he rose on the third day. He told His disciples He was going away to prepare for us a place. BUT, He would send a helper or counselor, the H0ly Spirit. That&#8217;s the part of God that lives in His believers. <em>Steam.</em> Again, still H2O, just in a different airy form.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if the kids understand it any better than they did, but I sure do.</p>
<p>Whether you trek off to <a href="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/2009/06/i-cant-believe-she-wore-that-to-church/" target="_blank">church</a> somewhere or enjoy some peace in quiet in His creation&#8230;I hope you have wonderful Sunday and know that God (in whatever form) is <a href="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/2009/02/theres-been-an-abduction/" target="_blank">crazy about you and loves to chat</a>. Whenever you&#8217;re ready.</p>
<p>Blessings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;ve found Faith is better when it&#8217;s simple.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Now <strong>faith</strong> is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.&#8221; Hebrews 11:1 </em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-720  aligncenter" title="The Cross." src="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/000_0228.jpg" alt="The Cross." width="396" height="299" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Faith is different than religion.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Religion, comes with rules.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> When pursuing Faith, you pursue a relationship.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;ll choose relationship. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-721    aligncenter" title="The Cross." src="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/100_1430.jpg" alt="The Cross." width="301" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s been said hell is the absence of God.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;ve lived there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I don&#8217;t like it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s dark.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><sup>&#8220;</sup>For the wages of sin is death&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/100_2627.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-723" title="Darkness" src="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/100_2627.jpg" alt="Darkness" width="400" height="301" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8230;but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.&#8221; <em>Romans 6:23</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Which brings light&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-724" title="Light" src="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/img_0274.jpg" alt="Light" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I don&#8217;t deserve light.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">But Jesus said, &#8220;My <strong>grace</strong> is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.&#8221; <em>2 Corinthians 12:9</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And that is more than enough.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s simple.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Happy Easter!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He is Risen!</p>
