Birds for Jesus

          Audrey says a lot of funny things.  Sadly, I'm often too busy to take the time to write them down.  When a really good "Audrey-ism" comes along, though, I just can't resist...
          This weekend, I had the privilege of singing with our worship team at church.  In preparation, I would listen to the songs in the car while the girls and I were out and about.  Yesterday while we were driving, Audrey asked me if I was listening to songs about God.  I told her I was, and she immediately asked her favorite question:  "Why?"  So, I briefly explained that Mommy was listening to the songs that I would be singing at church.  She decided to listen, too, so she could "help me".  One of the songs is called "At the Foot of the Cross", and there is a line that says, "I lay every burden down at the foot of the cross".  As soon as the lyric played, Audrey said,
          "Mommy, Jesus likes birds so that lady is putting birds at Jesus' feet."
          My response was simply, "What?"
          She rephrased, as a question this time:  "Why is she putting birds at Jesus' feet?  It must be because he likes birds so much."  Now, I'm still a bit confused because Audrey has been known to pull a completely random story or comment out of thin air, and I have to try to find it's context as quickly as I can.  Thankfully, the chorus was repeating itself as I was trying to figure out how to respond and I realized that Audrey heard the line "I lay every BURDEN down at the FOOT of the cross" and thought the singer was singing about birds for Jesus!  I had a much-needed laugh, told Audrey that Jesus does love birds, and then tried to explain what the song had really said!
