When we first got our Wii on Christmas 2008, one of the things that my son, David, loved to do the most was make new player characters (Miis) and change their appearance. Of course there is a Mii for every member of our family and for several friends who have come over to play the Wii. At some point, I noticed that there was a young man in there with dark hair and a beard. When I asked who that was, the boys told me it was Jesus.
If you know anything about the Wii game system, you know that some of the games have audiences. So when I’m doing the Rhythm Parade in Wii Fit Plus, sometimes Jesus is on the sidelines watching. (Sometimes Jesus even joins in the parade and plays an instrument.) When Chris is doing Rhythm Kung Fu, sometimes Jesus is in the back doing the punches, too.
Do you think Jesus knew that he would be part of our Wii? It brings a smile to a parent’s face to think about such things. What brings an even bigger smile to my face is when the boys are jogging on Wii and I hear them say, “Hey, there’s Jesus running beside me.” We all know that Jesus is always beside us, but don’t we need all the help that we can get in teaching this to our kids? So I’m happy to have Jesus in our Wii!! There’s even a tshirt at Mardel’s that says, Hii Saved Me!
