Jesus and Peanut

On our way home from getting milk and eggs at the farm, Mateo told Francesca, Chester and me a great story...

Mateo: Mama, I'm going to tell you a story about Jesus and Peanut.

Mama: Ok, Mateo. I love your stories. Mama quietly wonders to herself, "Who is Peanut?"

Mateo: One day there was a HUGE boat. Jesus was walking on the water and Peanut came out too. He went down, down in the water.

I couldn't help but giggle and Mateo's rendition of Jesus walking on the water and Peter who chose to step out in faith and walk on the water, too, until the waves caused him to doubt and he took his eyes off of Jesus and began to sink into the water.

Mama: Mateo, that story teaches us about faith. We should always keep our eyes on Jesus.

Mateo: Yeah. Keep our eyes on Jesus, like Peanut!
