A young child in our church asked once while we were learning the books of the Bible and came to Hebrews and James..... "Just who was it that bruised James??!" Can't you almost see the Father smiling at these precious things children wonder and say!! ~ Cyndi in Ohio

Eva (8) is learning the Old Testament books of the Bible. We were working on Joshua, Judges, Ruth. "Mommy?" Mia (5) asked, "Does Joshua judge us too, or just Ruth?" Bahahaha ~ Elizabeth in Virginia

In Kroger today...a very nice older lady to Brooklyn (4): "Those are some cute boots there, young lady!"
Brooklyn, while curtsying without hesitation, "Well thank you, old lady!"
Yep. ~ Lauren in Virginia

This afternoon in the car Josh (14) and Gracie (12) had a disagreement about what to listen to on the radio, so I said we should turn it off. Joshua said, "Look at Mom going all Solomon on us. Bring out the baby!" Gracie and I laughed hysterically over that! That boy is funny! ~ Penny in Virginia

You know you're in trouble when...You're at the dinner table, enjoying your family's company, talking about the day. You just finish telling a story and the almost 2-year-old chimes in and says..."Emily. Eat." Yep. Big trouble. ~ Emily in Virginia

"I miss Trigger, Shadow, Abbie, our Chickens, Florida (our fish), and our dead crab," said my girls ( 5 and 8) today. ~ Elizabeth in Virginia
