Moments to Remember

Recently Allison has been saying comments to me about different things. One day while she was going potty she said, "mommy, come here. Look one big poopy and one small poopy." I just had to laugh. What is it with kids and their poop? She continues to look at it every time she goes.

On a lighter note:

Last night while I was driving it started to rain. When it gets stormy I have always shared my childhood story with her about the rain and thunder. Last night when it was thundering I said, "the angels are bowling tonight." When it started to rain I said, "God is watering his earth." She then happened to add to it by saying, "Mommy, God is watering the earth with a big water bucket. It is so big that the children are helping him water." How sweet it that? Allison is learning so much at preschool about the Lord. Her heart has become very sensitive and loving for others.

Last night I was sharing with her that there are people out there that are struggling and don't have food to eat and that we need to be praying for them. I then asked her how she can help. She got up from her chair and walked to the fridge and said, "We can give them some of our food." What an amazing girl.

I really hope that Kyle and I are teaching her how blessed we are, but we still need to bless others too. Our pastor asked the question a while back, "how are you showing God in your home?" This question has challenged me a great deal. I did not grow up with God in my home. I am determined to break that and show my kids Christ in our home. I fail every day but I show Allison that I am not perfect and I truly am trying my best. God gave me a wonderful daughter. Allison is teaching me to be humble, accepting and patient. I am truly blessed. Thank you Jesus for my children. Thank you Jesus that you use my children to teach me your truth every day. May I learn more about falling on my knees to you from them.
