Christmas Story

Tonight while daddy worked on the Christmas lights, Izzie and I made a chalk telling of the Christmas story.

Sayings From my 4 year old

Izzie says the most unique things.  Most of her sayings are silly little girl-isms.  But sometimes, there is so much wisdom in what she says.  A few nights ago I asked her, "Izzie, why do we love God?"  She replied, "  Because he pick me flowers, and I wait for him."  
Wow!   On one hand, this makes no sense at all, but on the other hand, it makes total sense.  God loves us so much.  He courts us with his love ie.  "picking flowers."  And like the expectant bride (the church) we wait on him to come and take us home. 
Thank you, Izzie for showing me my Creator's love for me!

Shoe Boxes

When I was in college, I used to take great joy in making the shoe box that the Baptist Student Union would send to Samaritan's Purser, and eventually, to a special child in an impoverished nation.  This year, I got to share this experience with my own 2 little girls.  Tonight Izzie prayed for the little girl who would receive her box.  So special.
