Crosses Everywhere

When the Easter season started this year, we got out some books and started telling Benjamin the story of Christ's death on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins and his resurrection to prepare the way for us to spend eternity in Heaven.

Naturally, this year he is understanding much more than he did last year, and it's really exciting to answer all his questions. He knows that Jesus died on a cross, even if he doesn't understand the full
magnitude of it. This is very evident in the fact that he sees crosses everywhere.

The street sign on our corner was casting a shadow on our front lawn and Ben looked outside and said, "Look Mom, a cross!"

Then at lunch, Ben was eating some olives and he looked at the end where there's the little x from the pitting process and said, "Mom, olives have crosses!"
