Brown Spots

Last weekend I was spending some much needed cuddle time with my neice/best friend, Autumn. Before she takes a nap I always read her a book and lay there with her while she falls asleep. When Autumn is tired she comforts herself by sucking on one of her fingers and rubbing you....usually she feels until she finds an ouchie or a birth mark or some sort of texture. Well, on this afternoon she kept rubbing my arms over and over again, looking for something and I asked her if she needed me to see if I had any ouchies for her to rub. She told me no, that she was looking for my brown spots on my one arm.

Now this doesnt seem like that big of a deal to most people but it warmed my whole heart up. To have someone know and love me so intimately that they know I have three brown spots on my right arm. It just made me that much more grateful to have a God that cares about the little things.

"And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows."

ps. nat and sabrina...i only even process the idea of blogging for you kids. so enjoy it.
