Finding pure joy in silence

As a mother of two, I have learned that when your children are quiet... it usually means they are getting into something. A few weeks ago this silence occured in my house while I was doing dishes. Penny was playing with her babies, but Lily was nowhere to be seen. So I grabbed the camera and headed upstairs to try and catch her in the act! This is what I found.


Lily in our bed "reading" the Bible




I found Lily "reading" to her bear on our bed. I asked her what she was doing and she said "I'm reading the Bible study mommy!" I said "Oh really? And what does the Bible say?" She replied with a big smile "Jesus loves me"

For all the times I have stayed awake wondering and worrying about her and if I am raising her right, this put my heart at rest. If she has that figured out at two she will be a wise old woman!
