I have been battling this awlful cold that has settled in my throat and caused on and off again laryngitis all week. By the end of each day, my voice just hurts. Last night, I read Jenna her favorite book, Love You Forever, and barely got through it with all the coughing and hoarseness.
On the way up the stairs to bed tonight, Jenna asked if I would read again and I told her that my throat hurt and that it would be better if she would read me a book. (Jenna is 3 and doesn't read, but we've read some books so many times that she has them memorized pretty well.) She turned around and said, "Oh Mommy, don't worry, Jesus will take care of your throat. He loves you all the time and always takes care of you. We can't see him, cause he lives up in the sky, but he watches us all the time."
I looked at my three year old little Jenna and realized that God is already working in her. How wonderful:)

When we were leaving Mother's Day Out on Wednesday, Shelby stopped Ms. Cynthia to tell her that she had been a good girl all day. She said, "It's cause Jesus is in my heart and he makes me be good. But sometimes when he stretches his arms he kicks my rib bones." She sort of gets it.
How beautiful! Someone is doing a great job parenting!! And obviously setting a good example... See, little kids really DO pick up on important things at a young age! Praise God!
