Snuggling with God

Thomas, at bedtime:  Mommy, where is God?  Can I snuggle with him?  Is he out in the living room?
Me:  Thomas, God is everywhere--
Thomas:  Is he in my belly?
Me:  Well...
Thomas:  Is he outside?
Me:  Yes, he is.  He's in here, too.  Right beside you. 
Thomas:  But where is the real God? 
Me:  He's right here.  We just can't see him with our people eyes.
Henry:  Yeah, Thomas, and he's big!  Bigger than Daddy, bigger than Mommy, bigger than Goliath, bigger than even me!  Bigger than you, bigger than...
Thomas:  Oh.  I just want to snuggle with him.
