Precious Gems

Wisdom from the mouth of Gracie (7): "My mind has a camera and it takes a picture. When I see something I shouldn't I keep asking God for a delete button." ~ Penny in Virginia

Gracie (7) says to my mom: "Mamaw, I want to watch a movie. Do you have a way to play these fat DVD's"? She's referring to VHS tapes. ~ Penny in Virginia

Samantha (5) to her brother (4 ): "Alex, the Bible says that children should obey their parents ... and their sister."  :) ~ Amanda in Virginia

Last month our nephew, Jeremiah, age 4, was playing in a lazy river and floated by a man with very long hair.  He looked at the man and asked, "are you a boy or a girl?"  The man simply answered, "a boy."  His grandmother was turning red with laughter. ~ Joy in Virginia

Tonight at supper Madelyn (3) sneezed and I felt a few drops fall on my leg. She said, "Oh, sorry Mom, I didn't mean to get achoo on your leg!" - Liz in Washington

So we went school supply shopping today. One of the things on Samantha's list was a large towel (for rest time). Samantha (5) asked what it was for, and when I told her this was the reply: "I think I would rather have a mattress. That's not going to be comfortable!" She is SO my kid. :) ~ Amanda in Virginia

Yesterday while we were at the park my sweet little evangelist, Joshua (9), gave a man (who appeared to him to be in need) his Bible verse card from camp. It read: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  God bless my little son. I love that boy so much! ~ Penny in Virginia
