Random Thoughts about Jesus and Toddlers

So, Aaric says to me, "Mom, wasn't Jesus around 3 when the Wise Men found him?"
I say, "Yeah, somewhere around there."
"So, he'd be kinda like Xander just not as crazy, and a little younger."
"Ahh, a sinless toddler. Man, that would be awesome." I sighed and reflected on that for a minute. Sinless toddlers. The thought of it is just amazing. Then I had another thought.
"But, can you imagine having the responsibility of raising God!? I mean, what if you screw that up? What if you turned out to be an awful parent, and there's God sitting at your table!?"
Of course, as Aaric pointed out, God picked the right people for the job, knowing they could handle it. But I admit there's a piece of me that thinks they totally got off easy with their first kid. Imagine when the 2nd was born. We always joke that God doesn't make your first kid too hard or else you wouldn't have more. But what if your first was literally perfect, and then you had another and then had to face the harsh reality that THIS kid came with a sinful nature? And what about favorites? Of course we all love our kids the same... but what if one of your kids is Jesus!?

Just my random after lunch thoughts for today.

By the way, if you saw my blog earlier today and read my other post, well, I applaud you. I woke up and thought, "Oh, wow, I think I wrong a long babbling post of over the top late night boringness" and the first thing I did was delete it. Then I got a message from a friend who'd read it, and said I should have left it. If I can find a way to recover it, I will. Otherwise, it really was just late night babbling about this past year and this upcoming year. Nothing newsworthy. (update, I managed to dig it up by sorting through my history and finding a draft of it.)
