HELLO!!!!!!

The other day I heard a short little conversation between my two oldest that hit me and got my attention. It was one of those conversations that took 20 seconds to say, but taught me SO much! I was in the kitchen finishing up dinner (I was nervous about this dinner, because it was one of those, "make something out of what is in the cupboards", nights and with THIS cook that can be disastrous) The kids were getting into their high chairs and chattering away while they did. That is when I heard Hannah ask her brother "why we have a new baby?" (Hannah is in the question stage, as you can tell from this post) Ben answered her quick and with thick "HELLO!!" sarcasm..."cuz God sent her to us"!!! It sounded like there should have been a "duh" at the end of it. It was not mean, but said in a way that he was only stating the obvious and that she should know that the answer is PLAIN and SIMPLE! "God sent her to us" The end. And the best part of the conversation was Hannah's answer to Ben. "oh, otay"

Oh how I wish I could be that strong in my faith all the time. To keep it Plain and Simple. To know that God has a plan, He is in control, and it is not for me to question His actions. And if I do ever question "why" something has happened, or "why" things are the way they are, I should be as swift to accept the answer as my little girl was, "oh otay"! There is NO worry when I know that God is the one who holds my present and my future.

These lessons from my little ones, are the best! They stick with me and humble me. Oh to have the faith of a little child.
