Out of the Mouths of Babes....



Let's Send It To Africa - I guess we need to have a little discussion with our 3 year old about stewardship and generosity. Actually I think she frequently excels at these two concepts, considering her age. But she stopped me dead in my tracks as we plowed through the toothbrush aisle at Walmart about two weeks ago. We have friends who are missionaries to Uganda and we've had the priviledge of specifically praying for one of their orphans for a little over three years now. We also frequently go through our things and try to donate anything we can no longer use, including various toys. So that said, I was shocked when we bought her a new toothbrush only for her to suggest, "I can send my old toothbrush to Africa." The sweet thing is that she was sincerely wanting to help someone else.

Say What? - Just today she made me giggle as she tried to sing one of Elvis' classics. It had been background music on one of the videos that we recently rented. Imagine this charming little face singing, "Hunka Hunka Dirty Love!"
