I wore a green camp shirt to church Saturday evening. When we got there my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter, Raegan, asked, “What’s that on your shirt, Grandpa?” She asks me that question every week, so I said, “What do you think it is?” She replied, “That’s your pen, Grandpa.” I said, “Yes, what color is the pen?” She said, “That’s your blue pen, Grandpa. It doesn’t go with your green shirt”.

How dare a 3-year old try to tell me how to dress? What does she know about colors blending at age 3 anyway? Perhaps more than I do.

The great prophet Isaiah gave us a glimpse of what it will one day be like in God’s Kingdom: “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them” (Isaiah 11:6).

Perhaps we might see a bit of that kind of switch in our world today. Now I’ll have to buy some new color-coordinated pens.
