Mallory

This little person is one of the joys in my life:


Mallory is growing into a little girl right before my eyes. I want time to stand still for so many reasons, but at the same time I'm loving her growing up. Last night, Brad was getting Mallory ready for her bath. Here's a little conversation they had:

B: We should pray for Morgan (she's been sick with a virus) and ask God to heal her.

M: But God's asleep.

B: God doesn't sleep. He stays awake all the time.

M: No, daddy. God sleeps. It says in the Bible he rested after he made the heavens and the Earth!

Brad couldn't really argue with that!!

I LOVE it. And, I love even more that you guys are "training them up in the way they should go." You will reap the benefits! That is God's promise. BUT, she is indeed growing up way too fast. And, that is just one of the lessons your children teach you! LOL!
