The Beauty of A Child's Faith

I had to stop everything I was doing to share with you just how amazed I am at this very moment.
The beautiful little girl the Lord has so graciously blessed me with, just blew me away with something she shared with me.
We had gone to a birthday party today, and she received a small diary with a lock. She has a notebook journal,(we use to write in for school) but she has never shared the desire to have a "real" diary and we have never bought one for her. She was so very excited about it! She has been in and out her room all day and has been writing in it.
I felt like I should remind her that the Lord sees,hears and knows everything and asked her to always remember that when she is thinking or writing in her diary. So we had a nice conversation and we both went about our business.
A little later, she came and told me that she wanted me to read what she wrote on the cover of her diary,( you know the inside of the hardback) but to" Please not to look at the pages.It's privacy." So I read what her innocent,beautiful heart wrote. (this is word for word including the spelling.)


" I am not perfec but the Lord God is evrything. I will never forgit that and one day I will go to heven."


That has touched my heart so deeply. I am overwhelmed with joy that she has loves the Lord with her heart and mind. I am humbled to know that we have such an awesome responsibility for molding this young, innocent little soul.
I love this little 7 1/2 year old girl so much and am proud to be her mother !!!!
