"Candy?"

Friday night, that's the first thing the sixth grader in my small group says to me, without even a hi or a hello. Kids love their candy, so I laugh and smile and say, "Yes, I do have candy." I know he's still young, but I wonder when this little boy will understand there's more to our time together than candy?

Two weeks later, it hit me. How often do I come to Jesus like that? "Hey Jesus! Insight? Wisdom? Answers? "

And I wonder how many times Jesus has laughed and smiled and thought, "Yes, I have all those things for you. But when will this little boy understand there's more than just what I bring?"
