I Need God with Skin | 我需要有身躯的上帝

English Original

To help our five-year-old son overcome his fear of the dark, his father and I always reassure him at bedtime that God is watching over him.

One night after I had gone to bed, I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. "Mommy," a familiar voice said, "I know God's in there with me, but I need somebody with skin."


中文翻译

为了帮助我们五岁的儿子克服对黑暗的恐惧,我和他爸爸总是在睡前安抚他,说上帝在守护着他。

一天晚上,我上床后,感到有人轻轻拍了拍我的肩膀。一个熟悉的声音说道:“妈妈,我知道上帝在那里陪着我,但我需要一个有身躯的上帝。”
