My little 3 year old son has found a pocket watch and has been carrying it with him everywhere the last few days. We haven't said anything about it, but yesterday at my older son's orchestra concert, my 3-year-old greeted my brother by pulling his watch out of his pocket to show him. My brother complimented his watch, but my son exclaimed out of nowhere, very somberly, "Three Days of Darkness. There will be fire. And dragons." He pointed to the hands on his watch: "God is moving it." I don't know where that came from, but this is the same kid who began shouting "Saruman is doing this!" a minute before large hail began slamming into our house and we had to say "Jesus Christ is Lord" to get it to stop.
I never disregard the words of a devout child. "Out of the mouth of babes..." i think they jave such a clear channel to thd Holy Spirit.
I find it amazing that he seems to have integrated the three days of darkness with the Lord of the Rings. It appears your son understands the meaning of story at a deep level.
Seems like gas does the trick. Good. Last month I saw protests in Rome too. It seems like they are doing a final push to get communism going but it is failing. Part of me wonders if some of the powers that be are putting God to the test.
