P: Mummy, is God a “he” or a “she”?

Mummy: Well, there are many stories about God. In some of them, God is referred to as a Father and in some God is referred to as a Mother.

P: I like to think of God as a “She”.

Mummy: Okay.

P: But you know, the problem is… God doesn’t speak back to me, ever.

Mummy: God doesn’t speak the way you and I do–God speaks through your heart and your mind, not your ears.

P: It’s hard to hear God that way.

Mummy: I know it is, it takes a lot of practice.

P: It’s easier to talk to you than to God actually. You talk back to me when I ask for things.
