The Kingdom of God

I've been trying to apply more scripture to the basis of what's behind the rules in our family. And the other day I  seized the opportunity when all the kids were fighting to get out of the van first so they wouldn't have to be the one to close the car door. Obviously, in order to apply scripture to situations, I need to know the Bible! Not all that shocking of a concept.
Well the other day I sort of meshed two verses together. Matthew 19:30 But many who are first will be last, and last will be first, and in Galatians where it talks about being led by the Spirit and about the works of the flesh and how the works of the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God. Ultimately the verse in Matthew would have made my point on it's own but I told the kids this meshed version, 'the fist will be last and the last will inherit the kingdom of God'. So it simmered for a while and the next time we got out of the car Payden waited and saved herself for last and jumped out of the car, punched both hands in the air and goes 'Oh yeah, I got the kingdom of God'...uhhhh, not quite what I meant, but pretty fascinating how her mind works. Then they were sitting at the counter eating snack and Payden is explaining to all of the kids that 'Taylor has the kingdom of God cause she was born last'.
We've had more conversations since then but it just tickles me to see how they process and interact and actually listen the the things I say. And it goes to show that I need to saturate my life with God's word if I want my words to be of Him!
