My six-year-old daughter has been fascinated with how God might look as of lately.  She asked me what I thought and I turned the question back onto her.  "God must be very tall, and definitely has a long white flowy robe.  God has white hair with a matching beard and never sleeps.  God is half boy and half girl because there are both boys and girls and God made us to look like God." 

I often wonder how children pick up on the "Ancient of Days" description of God.  I think God looks a little like each one of us.  In fact, it does not matter what color skin, hair, eyes, nor how tall or short, thick or thin, I see God in each one of us because we are all God's precious and beloved children.  This concept is so awesome to me that it is difficult to grasp.  I am overwhelmed and humbled that somehow, I am fashioned in God's own image.  As to gender, I am not sure how One Triune God embodies this, except that however SHE does, it is the definition of beauty!
