A couple of days ago, the girls and I went to Walmart. When checking out, they both wanted a sucker, and of course I gave in. We got in the car and as they were opening them, Scarlett realized her sucker was broken and in pieces. She was devastated, as you can imagine a 4 year old might be. Without blinking an eye, Avery offered her sucker to her sister. She then told me, " Mom, we shouldn't worry about things like suckers and stuff." " We should worry about our family and how they feel." " It makes me feel so good to give my sucker to Scarlett to make her happy." At that moment I felt such gratitude to the Lord for sending such a precious spirit to live in our home. I was so thankful to hear those wise words from my seven year old daughter.
