"Does God have a phone number?"

.... Isaac asked me this morning at breakfast.

There was no one else downstairs, and we hadn't been talking about anything.

He was eating and I was buzzing around the kitchen.

I walked to the table and gave my best "church" answer, "well, no, God doesn't have a phone number - but we can talk to Him anytime, He is always with us"

"But I want to hear his voice" Isaac replied

WOW.... his words touched my heart in a way that I did not expect.

The faith of a child.

How long has it been since I longed to hear God's voice to me?

Why do I get so busy with "life" that I don't make time to listen?

I answered Isaac with another "church" answer -
about how we can hear God's voice by reading our Bible and praying

but his words have stuck with me.

Maybe today I did hear God's voice -

through my sweet Isaac.
