Emmie surprised me today. We were talking about this drama I'm a part of for our Christmas program and the girls kept asking me questions about it. I told them that the story is about a woman who is too busy with all of her holiday plans to spend any time with God. I told them that it was "really important" to spend some time with God every day. Emmie asked me why, and I told her it was because when you don't make time for the most important relationship in your life, your life "just kind of falls apart". Here was her thought on that.
Emmie: "But mommy, our life already falled apart when baby Isaac died!"
Wow. I was shocked. We had not been talking about Isaac that day or even recently. Plus, I'm sure she never heard us use that term in talking about what had happened. She really surprised me.
Our life really did fall apart when it happened and it's never going to be the same. But like I told Emmie, we never would have made it through and even had some joy on the other side of this without our relationship with our Saviour. He alone is our source of hope and peace!

Wow...what a sweet girl...Can you imagine life without Jesus? I can't.
little ones are so perceptive. i agre withsue. with all of the things we go through in life that are hard WITH jesus, i can't imagine going through them WITHOUT him.
You sure do have smart little ones. I know I must seem stuck up, I have been meaning to stop by and visit and check out your new house. It seems like I am pretty busy with life, unpacking (finally practically done), Thanksgiving, and now my in-laws are coming this weekend to check out the house. Sounds like you have been busy too, and have had lots of company. I hope to see you soon though. Thanks for that cute comment the other day about coming over and playing :)! Hang in there!
what a sweetheart! i can't imagine life without Christ, just can't even imagine.
