Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2Thessalonians 2
My girlfriend showed me this facebook post and I just needed to share this with you.
A boy asked his father, “Dad what is the size of God?”
The father looked up to the sky and saw a plane and pointed to it as he asked his son, “What is the size of that plane?”
The boy replied, “It is very small. I can hardly see it.”
Then the father took him to the airport and as they approached a plane he asked; “Now son how big is this plane?”
The boy replied, “Wow dad it’s huge!”
The father told him, “God’s size depends on how close or how far you are to him. The closer you are to him the greater and greater he will be in your life.”

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
