She Gets It

Noelle has become especially keen at noticing facial expressions. She often comments on them if she thinks they aren't appropriate for the situation. This happened again recently when we were reading the Bible as a family the other night. We were reading the Easter story, and there was a picture of Mary crying at the cross.

Noelle: "Why does she have a sad face?"

Sarah: "She's sad that Jesus died."

Noelle: "But she should be happy! He died on the cross for our sins."


That was a really cool moment for me. I've replayed that conversation in my head many times over the last few days. Yes, Noelle. She should be happy. Thank you, Lord, for allowing her to understand that.
