We spent the week in
Branson, Mo with
Rayden's family for Thanksgiving. All the kids (our 3 plus our niece Jordan) slept on mattresses on the floor in Grammy and
Grandad's room. Before bed the first night Uncle Tommy went in to read the kids a story before lights out. Only, much to our
surprise/amazement/pleasure he wasn't the one reading the story. Our sweet niece (just 2 months older than
Aubri) was telling the story. The story of Jonah and the whale was beautifully pouring out of this sweet 2 year
olds mouth. Now, she wasn't reading the book....holy cow....that would totally have rocked our worlds! But, her mommy and daddy had read her this book so many times that the words just stuck in her little head. It was a precious moment.
And for my sweet
niece, Jordan, I pray that she would learn the lessons of Jonah. I pray that she will hear God's voice and choose-the first time-to follow God's commands. I pray that for my own children as well. Praise the Lord for His Word and the truth that it shows us. And praise the Lord for moments when we can hear His truth spilling forth from children we love.
