A Sunday Toy?

Sunday, a day for rest and relaxation, was a day with limitations for children of bygone eras. Their toys had to be biblically based. My son, was very creative this morning.

Outside his bedroom door I enjoyed listening in as he was singing:
"My chains are gone, I've been set free.
My God, My Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood, his mercy rains,
Unending love, Amazing Grace."
(a Chris Tomlin song we listen to often in the car)

Then I heard:
"Shields up! Fire when ready!

Mustafar - ready to battle!

We already battled...we are supposed to be dead.

I know but we came alive again! FIRE!"
Bombadil makes gun sounds and various battle noises...

And then begins singing again...
"'My chains are gone, I've been set free!...'"

And then exclaims, "Stop that singing!" with more battle sounds for effect!

And then quotes, "'For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that'...[couldn't understand the mumbling...I don't think he knows the rest of the verse]...John 3:16. But most of all Jesus loves you."

And continues with his Star Wars play.

I interrupted him and asked about the singing with his playing. He was a little embarrassed that I listened in. I told him I thought it was great that he had Bible songs and verses on a Sunday morning as a part of his play before church. He said that they didn't go together but that he was just singing. It still makes me chuckle and smile though!
