This morning we were enjoying a relaxed morning of snuggling and reading on the couch. As she was returning a book to the bookshelf and choosing another, Grace suddenly cried out in a very worried voice, "Momma, somebody wrote on me!"
Since I was occupied reading with Ella, I didn't know what she was talking about at first. "What? Who wrote on you?"
"I don't know! Somebody wrote on me on my hands! Somebody wrote purple on me!"
Thoroughly confused- thinking when did she get into crayons or markers, we've been together all morning!?!?- I called her over for a closer look.
See her little purple veins?
I love how God grants us opportunities to teach our children in our everyday, mundane activities! Not only did we discuss veins and blood and how they run through our body, but we were also able to chat about how God made us, and He did write on us- especially in our hearts- so that we would know Him and love Him! Thank you, Lord, for our precocious, curious, inquisitive children, who LOVE to hear about you!

What an awesome story! Thanks for sharing!! I love it too when our children out of curiosity and wonder turn a moment into a teaching time about how special God thinks we are!

Aw...That's so cute! Especially since I actually DO write on myself frequently. On purpose. If I write a note on paper I'll just shove it in my purse or pocket and forget about it, but if it's on my hand...
