Out of the mouth of babes

Today Bennie says:
Momma, are you mad at me?

No, Bennie I am not mad at you.

Are you happy at me?

Yes, I am very happy at you.

I find it very funny to hear little children (esp. Bennie) speak. But when Bennie said, Are you happy at me, it made me smile, it also made me wonder... why do we say mad at but happy with? Would it still be correct to say happy at? lol.
The one thing I found disturbing was how he asked me if I was mad at him. To my knowledge, I don't think I have EVER said that I was mad at him. I have said that I was disappointed in him and that momma isn't very happy with you but if my memory serves me right, I have NEVER said I am mad at you. So, that mad me sad to think that a 3 year old can already understand what it means to be mad or angry with some one.
I still don't know why he asked, as I was just sitting in the chair looking at him. But again this is a 3 year old. I think that sometimes children just need assurance that they are loved and that we are not upset with them.
I know that I often have to go to God and say, Are you happy with me? I never have to ask if he still loves me because I know he does but sometimes when the world seems to have gone out, I wonder does any one still love me. Then reality sets in and I know that no matter how upset, angry or mad I make my Heavenly Father, He will always love me. Isn't it great!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. if that's not love, I don't know what is.
Here's a little song I came across:
Love Found a Way
Love found a way to redeem my soul.
Love found a way to make me whole; Love sent my Lord to the cross of shame, Love fund a way. O praise His holy name!

Have a blessed day!
