"we're all pieces"

Just the other night we were hanging out watching a movie as a family and Jonah had gotten up to get his bowl of popcorn and came back to have a seat on the couch with the rest of us. Paul was laying over on one end, Rachel in front of him laying with her feet out in front of me, Jared on the other end, Sarah at our feet, and Jonah made his place just next to me with his feet filling in the left over space beside Rachel's feet. After he had made his place all comfy, this was our conversation:

Mommy: "Do you fit, are you ok there?"

Jonah: "Yeah, we all fit. It's like a puzzle...{slight pause}...and we are all the pieces!"

What depth in that little statement; we are like pieces, we all work together!

"Lord God, thank you for the wisdom of my 5 year old. I praise you that your voice can be heard in the simplicity of his wonder. You have a way of capturing his heart and in turn, it blesses mine...you are wonderfully amazing!"
