FAVORITE TEN YEAR OLD
It is my practice, when I get a hug from our favorite ten year old, to kiss her on the top of her little blonde head, or on her cheek.
Today after church She and Memaw went to a restaurant for lunch before they began a shopping trip to buy fabric suitable for a court jester costume.
I joined them. What a joy to sit there next to her during that very special time.
Later, while I sorted through old "stuff" in our office, the girls worked on the costume.
Just before she was to go, the two of us toured the garden, she learned how to turn on the pump and set the sprinklers, and the ice cream man drove up.
You know what happened next!
She sat on the floor and consumed her treat while I worked at my desk, and we enjoyed just being together.
When it was time for Memaw to take her home she came up to me, gave me a hug, kissed ME on the cheek, told me she loved me and away they went.
Who can explain the total, complete love of a child, a puppy dog, or our Saviour?
What a blessed day!
Shalom, Y'all
