That face.
We'll leave this month's hammy laughs at that face lit up by running fast-- vewy, vewy fast.
Instead, I have a conversation I don't soon want us to forget. Like forever and ever want us to remember.
h: Mommy, talk to me!
me (running around preparing for company): What do you want to talk about?
h: I want to talk about Jesus.
me (stopping mid cleaning): Okay... what do you want to know about Jesus?
h: About His boo boos.
me: Well, Jesus loves you and everyone else sooo much that when God asked Him if He would show His love by getting boo boos, Jesus said yes.
h: On the cross, Mommy.
me (choking back tears): Yes, honey, on the cross.
h: To take away sins.
me (really choking back tears): Yes, Hope, you're right.
h: To live in my heart?
me: Yes.
h: And your heart? And Daddy's heart? And Maddie's heart?
me: Of course. All our hearts and the hearts of anyone who asks. All you have to do is ask and that's exactly where He wants to live.
With that off she ran away smiling from ear to ear.
That face.
But, oh mercy, that heart.
