Talking to God

DADDY: You are 3 1/2 years old, birthday coming in July.

When I woke up this morning, Mommy asked me to go check on you because you had been sleeping in our bed but were no longer with us. I assumed you had gone back to your bed. Or perhaps you were playing out in the living room, although I hadn't heard you out there at all.

I checked the living room first because I had some photos to edit on the computer. There you were, sitting on your knees and elbows on the beanbag by the front windows. The blinds were open and you were staring outside toward the front porch. You turned to me and smiled, brushed your hair back behind your ear.

I had a choice. (1) I go to computer to edit photos or (2) I go sit by my daughter. I'm glad I chose #2 because otherwise I might never have heard you tell me, "I'm just looking out the window talking to God." I love that you think about God and that he is drawing your little heart toward him. He loves you and your heart.

Also, you told me, you were watching the flies that were buzzing over the plants.

Love you.
