Elsie lately

has been delightful, when she's not screaming.
This morning she joined me on the couch in the sunroom while I drank my coffee.  I asked her,
"Elsie, what should I be praying for you?"
"Hm," she said.  "Pray that Delnawa would believe in the other two, not just God."
"Who's that," I asked.
"She's a girl at my school.  She's from another country.  She only believes in God, not the other two."
"You mean Jesus and the Holy Spirit?"
"Yeah."

My little girl.  Explaining the trinity to a little Muslim girl.

And later in the morning,
Me: I can't believe you're almost 6, Elsie!
Bug: It happens to everyone!

Love that kid.

We had a friend over the other day


She's in the foster system, so we can't show her face.  But her foster mom and I loved the juxtaposition of her tiny hand with Ezra's paw!
