NOT THAT AMAZING

While reading John 3 to her little daughter, a mother paused after the 16th verse and exclaimed, "Don't you think that's amazing, dear?"

The child looked up in surprise and said, "No!"

Thinking she might have misunderstood, the mother repeated the question. Again the girl shook her head and said,

"Mommy, it would be amazing if it were anyone else, but really, it's just like God!"
