Where is God?

One day recently I asked my son who God was. He responded with a sentence about Shabbat, lighting candles and not blowing them out, and juice for God - but don't drink the juice he reminded me! He then asked me, "Where he (God) is?" Oh wow, I thought to myself, these questions are starting now? I'm not ready! Oh well, I thought as I replied, "God is everywhere." He seemed satisfied with that.

Later that evening when we were reading before bed, he asked me again, "Where he is?" I gave him the same answer as earlier, "everywhere." He then said, "I think God wants to go outside and look at the stars and the moon." I smiled, saying, "I bet he does!"

Recently my two-year-old niece showed her mother a picture she was drawing. My niece proudly told her it was a picture of God. Better keep that picture!

I like the idea that as we adults pride ourselves on trying to understand the world, it is the youngest ones amongst us who really do.
