This is so adorable. My brother and his family just moved here from Minnesota. My oldest niece, Brittany, is 6 years old. They moved to a kinda bad neighborhood, and there is a "drug lady" that walks around that part of town. My brother and his wife told her to just be careful when she sees her walking, and to not approach her. For about a week, Brittany would run and hide when she saw the "drug lady". The suddenly, she whispered to me yesterday that she was praying for the "drug lady" even though she was scared of her, 'cause God will heal her heart and make her clean and then she can come to church with me and mommie and I can talk to her.

Behold the power of child-like faith! I think everyone could learn from that!

That's so wonderful. Bless her little heart. I have two girls (4 and 2...the cuties in the avatar) and it never ceases to amaze me the things that come out of their mouths (mostly the 4 year old, obviously...the 2 year old won't stop saying 'horse' :)). Everytime my 4 year old, Emily, sees a rainbow she tells me that's where Jesus lives and it's filled with gold and chocolate. Truly, we could do worse than to stop and see things through their eyes once in a while.

Love, Heather
