hide

Lily said two things today I desperately want to hide in my heart: so I'm blogging to remember!

I was originally thinking that several of us might be driving to go see some friends today, and then it turned out that just I was going to go.  I had asked Lily if she would go with me, even if it meant she'd have to leave her beloved Aunt and Uncle.

She agreed, and while we were driving there, I said, "Hey Lil?  Thanks a lot for coming with me today.  I didn't want to be by myself."

"Well, sure, Mom!  It's 'cause I love you!"

Ah, did I feel it!

Then, after her being just FANTASTIC for four hours while the girls and I chatted, we were heading home.  As soon as we pulled away, I said, "Lily, Lily, Lily!  Listen to me!  You were SO fantastic today! You were SO SO good and I had SO much fun with you!  Why in the world are you so good?"

Without missing a beat, she said, "'Cause I know the Lord, Mom!"

MAN.  I cannot think of a sweeter or more meaningful thing my daughter ever could have said to me.  She's THREE. Without ever telling HER about it, I have prayed every day since she was in my belly that she would come to know and love and resemble the Lord, above all else.

I mean, I've never even heard her say "Lord" before, just always God and Jesus...she just had me in tears...Praise the Lord for His daughter.  I need to remember to have good one-on-one time with my daughters like this in the future years.

Tomorrow we are all off to the zoo for Sofie's 1st Birthday party!
