Ella at age 2 has bulit a strong faith. She prayed everynight as if talking to God. I didn’t make her memorize a prayer. She just says about her heart’s content. Everynight she always amazed me at how she prayed like an old woman. She even has the choice of words that she never uses except when talking to God.
Yeterday when we are heading to McDo, we passed by a stall of Smart Bro, so we stopped and inquired about the internet connection process. It took me few minutes to fill up the form. I turned around to see Ella was inside a boutique which sells religious statues, rosaries and the like. When I was done, I called her and held hand towards McDo. Ella said “Mommy, I talked to Jesus in the store….I held his feet and said we are moving and that I am going to receive birthday packages….” I looked at Donald, waited for him to take care on this issue. We were protestants and we don’t have such things as statues but Ella has quite a knowledge that what she had seen was the figure of Christ (for the catholics). I don’t know where did she get that, she even knew that the woman is Jesus Christ’s mommy. Then I remember that she’d seen this on a house blessing we have attended. There’s an altar and she knelt there and even made the sign of the cross. Since then, we are trying to teach her all the best we can about faith…that we don’t have such things, and she pretty well understood.
When we are in the jeepney going home, we are bombarded by questions one after another about Christ, God and Satan…she even asked if heaven’s gate is already closed so Satan could not enter again.
