Where'd Jesus Go?

Today after one of Sadie's time-outs I was having the same conversation that I've had with her after every one of her time-outs (there have been a lot of them!) but it ended a bit differently...

Mommy: It makes Jesus happy when you obey your parents. Your parents are Mommy & Daddy.

Sadie: Where'd Daddy go?

M: He's still at work, he'll be home soon.

S: Where'd Jesus go?

M: Jesus lives in Heaven.

M: Yes--if you love Jesus and obey him. Did you know that Mommy prays for you that you will love Jesus and obey him?

S: Thanks Mommy.
