Jesus in the Clouds
Admittedly, DD has not gotten the Christian education DS got as a youngster but she does surprise us sometimes with her understanding. Being a child, I guess she's just more open to listening and hearing than adults.
Well, a few weeks ago, we were moving 2 ex-4-H heifers out to be bred. It was sort of a momentous occasion because, well, they were last year's 4-H calves and their time had come. I told DD to stand by the blackberry bushes while we went by. I guess we forgot her there and since I've trained her to always stand where I put her when I'm doing something potentially dangerous, she does stay put.
I little while later, I went and got her and she was all sad and started to cry as she related how she had been forgotten. I felt horribly! It had been a fair amount of time and she had been such a good girl to stay there the whole time and not sacrifice possibly scaring the animals by yelling out to us. We patched it up and continued with our evening.
Well, fast forward about 2 weeks to Friday night when DD and I were picking blackberries and she brought up being left there while we bred the heifers (AI if you are interested.). She told me how she was so lonely and looked up to the clouds and she knew Jesus was in the clouds. She said it was like He told her she wasn't alone.
This was just one of those moments and because she hasn't had all the Christian education all these years, it made my heart sing as I knew she didn't get this thought from anyone else, it came from her heart.
