Problems?

So three year old Courtney pulls up a chair next to me as we're having a snack, gets a contemplative look on her face and says "Let's talk." She then takes a turn, randomly sharing something about how she saw a cow be born. (I don't think she actually has; she's seen pictures.)

Then she leans back, crosses her legs, looks at me and prods "Let's talk about your problems."  Trying not to laugh at her seriousness, I share how I miss Grandma. She does, too, she says. Again she prompts me to talk about problems. "I'd rather talk about how good God is" I admit. This jogs her memory from VBS and she loudly launches into a part of one of the songs where you shout and repeat after the leader:



God is Great! God is Good!
He is my King! So Praise Him!

We talked about what it means for God to be your King, and I shared with her how God wants her to love Him even more than she loves Mom & Dad. (This is something my mom shared with me at a very young age, too.)

And then the moment was gone. She's off to go put a leotard on and do 'nastics in the kitchen. She says she's preparing for her birthday party which isn't until February. Can I just say I love being home with her?
