I invited her to sit in my lap and read with me. And at the end of this post, she unfurls her arms, wraps them around my neck and says, "So, I should do what Janie did, huh? She's more mature than I am. I'm proud of that girl. Next time, I'll take a deep breath and pray for a patient heart." We snuggle for a few moments. Bond over these girly issues -- these emotional moments that sometimes undo us. Then she runs out the door to play again -- all smiles and skip in her steps. Thank you.
