Sweet Words

As I was putting on makeup the other morning, and chatting with Ivy, I just couldn't stop myself from kissing her with delight.

I said: "I'm so glad you're my child! Who else's child are you?"

Ivy said: "Jesus'?"

I said: "Well . . . who else's?"

Ivy said: "God's?"

I said: "Yes! You are a child of God!"

Ivy said: "And Jesus'?"

I said : "No, Jesus is your brother."

Pause . . .

Ivy said: "Oohhh . . . because Mrs. God had him too!"

Seriously, what's more precious than a simple truth expressed by a child?

Good luck this week. I hope all goes well.
