God Almighty!

Being born in an inter-religious family, Pumpkin has been exposed to practices and concepts from multiple faiths.  However, each night, she says a small prayer to Jesus asking Him to bless all at home.  One day, at dinner, I took the oppportunity to test her understanding…

Papa: Pumpkin, how many “gods” do you know of?

Pumpkin: There are so many… Jesus, Krishna, Ganesha…

Papa: Actually, there is only one God.  He is known by different names, but he is the same.  Different people believe in their own version of what God looks like and what he’s called.  But God is one.  And he is every one’s God.  Got it?

Pumpkin: Yes, Papa.

A few days later, it was time to check if the concept had really sunk in…

Papa: So, how many “gods” do you know of, Pumpkin?

Pumpkin: Papa, there are many many gods like Jesus and Krishna.  But, there is one God who is the “boss” of all the gods.

Papa: What does the “boss God” do?!

Pumpkin: Simple.  He makes sure all the other gods do their job well!

Now you know.
