She's 4

Today, our little girl turns 4. Words can't describe how much we love her. She has been a continual blessing in so many ways.

Dana shared with me something that continues to put a smile on my face.

On one occasion before sitting down to a meal, Elsie decided that she would like to pray and give thanks herself. She said a little prayer and started eating. Dana decided to pursue her a bit in the moment and this is how it went (roughly).

Dana: Hey Elsie, why do you pray to God?
*thinking*
Elsie: Because I love him! I am his child and he loves me, and mommy, and daddy, and Elias.

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.  - 1 Timothy 4:12
