A Very, Very Big Day

Today was the start of The 40 Day Fast, but that’s not why today was a very big day.
Today was a very big day because my very little girl turned a very big 6 years old.
It’s hard to believe how the years have flown.
I’m so proud of her. Here’s a little glimpse of the wonderful little woman of God she’s becoming.
Story 1
About a week ago, she (The Small Person) woke up before anyone and went to the living room, curled up in a chair and spent some time reading her Bible. Not a children’s Bible - a real-no-pictures-in-it Bible.
She then proceeded to memorize Psalm 25:2a. And then she wrote it down on papers for Jimmy and I to memorize when we woke up.
Story 2
Yesterday I gave a piece of gum to both of my girls. My 4 year old (The Smaller Person) accidentally swallowed her gum and began to cry. She was very upset.
As Jimmy was consoling The Smaller Person, my 6 year old got up and walked around the corner.
When she came back, her gum was gone. Jimmy asked her what happened to her gum and she told him that she asked God what was the nicest thing she could do for her sister. Since she couldn’t give her own gum to The Smaller Person, she thought she should swallow hers too. That way her sister might not feel so bad.
When I Grow Up...
When I grow up, I want to be like my 6 year old daughter. Happy birthday, precious.

Sounds like you’re doing a great job training her up.
I’m pretty sure kids don’t do that kind of stuff when they don’t have good role models.

Happy Birthday Small Person!
Kat, I wish I had “known” you and Jimmy when my smalls were smaller. You two are great role models for not only your children, but for parents everywhere!
