Titanic

A few months back, Silas saw a Lego video on YouTube of someone building the Titanic out of Legos.  Automatically afterwards, as YouTube is known for, a new video about Titanic came up.  It told the story of Titanic and showed pictures of the boat, it hitting the iceberg, starting to sink, people escaping, etc.  I watched the entire thing with him and he was in awe.  Since then he has been quite obsessed and wants to know everything about Titanic. He can tell you how long it was, the date it sank, etc.

The other day he saw another video depicting the events of the sinking of Titanic and during the part where people were jumping off the boat and screaming, he put the video on pause and looked over at me with a puzzled look and asked. "Mommy, why are all those people screaming?"  I answered that they were scared of what was happening and that they might die.  Silas then said "Well I still don't get why they are screaming, if I thought I was going to die I would be so happy cause I would get to see God!"

It put tears in my eyes to hear the complete innocent faith of a 6 year old. There is no doubt in my mind that he doesn't wish to die right now, but in that moment it showed me the complete faith he has in the fact that the life after death is something to look forward to.  He continued to tell me about how great it is going to be here on earth when Jesus comes again! I am so happy that Jesus can bring him so much joy in this life!

This is a picture of the original video he saw of a young boy making this Titanic model out of Lego!
