Priceless

One of my daily prayers is that my girls will have hearts that love God. And I love seeing that unfold. Jenna knows that Easter is coming up and is apparently going over everything about Easter in her preschool class.

Over the past few days, she has becomed very concerned though . . . she is very, very sad that Jesus has to die. Now, she knows that Jesus died (as in past tense) on the cross to take away our sins, but she also thinks that it's really going to happen next week. Like next Friday! She is very worried that Jesus will be hurt and that he will be so far away from us.

Every time she gets sad about Jesus dying, I remind her that he lives again and will never die. That certainly brightens her mood, but she also isn't sure if Jesus will want to come back from the dead because heaven is so beautiful and wonderful (as she puts it). She told me today that she thinks heaven will be better than Disneyland:)

I'm really hoping that she realizes that Jesus isn't physically dying during the Good Friday service, but how sweet is it that she is worried and loves Him so much?

I'm seeing a heart that loves God, and that is indeed priceless.

Oh. My. Goodness.
I can NOT believe how big the girls are!!
Why do we always say that? And why is it always true? Like, in our minds, do we REALLY think time stands still for friends who move away?!
Can you tell I took a pain pill about an hour ago (they always make me think WAY too much about things that are really too stupid to think about .... but there ya go).
Anyway, wanted to stop by and say hi and say that I'm glad you asked Tamara about T.A.N.W., especially since I use it quite a bit.
I wonder what people have come up with .... people like you who didn't know? Now THAT would be an interesting question!
See ..... there I go again ....... maybe I need a nap?

I know! Can you believe that Jenna was 6 months old when we left Texas and now she's five? What a great place and experience to have our first child!

I wanted to ask you about TANW, but really thought I missed something. I'm glad she clarified!

And I still love your blog. And my friends love your blog and now some of them are addicted to MckMama too. What a web we have all turned into. So fun!
