The perspective of a child is often more true than we want to admit. They just tell what they're thinking and feeling.
We got a call the other night from Shanda's sister who informed us that her 3 year old son, Eli, wanted to talk to Shanda about him wanting to drive a ferry boat when he's big. He'd then drive it to see Aunty Shanda.
The conversation wound down so Shanda asked him if he wanted to talk to Uncle Craig. Not really he said, because he wanted to talk to our dog, Bentley. Eli was informed that Bentley was unable to come to the phone - I think he was sleeping. So Shanda asked Eli again if he'd like to talk to Uncle Craig. Eli said 'no, but can you ask Uncle Craig to wake up Bentley so he can talk on the phone?'!!
Nothing like a 3 year old to give you an idea of your place in the world!

I once heard a testimony about
"Embracing Humiliation." Isn't it amazing how children can bring a person to that place so easily? God bless, Debbie <><
That brought a smile and a laugh as we started talking to our new dog, like he was gong to answer back...
