Blessings

This morning I went to go change Levi's diaper.  While I was in doing this Lulu told me she was going to do some sweeping.  I thought, sure...she loves to pretend sweep and pretend to help me along with really helping me.  I just figured she was going to pretend this time.  I wasn't really thinking too much about it.  When Levi and I came out of his room this is what I saw.  Lulu's chair was moved and she had a really nice sized pile of dirt she had swept from under the table.  Earlier this morning I did a quick sweep and hadn't moved the chairs.  I had made a comment how our floors were dirty and I'll just have to get under the table later.  I was out of energy to do the full job.  So to see her finishing the job that I didn't do made me so happy.  I didn't even ask her, I didn't even think that she would do this.  She is truly a blessing to me.  Not just because she can clean.  But because she makes us laugh a lot, she loves to talk about her love for Jesus, she loves her brother, she has such a caring, giving heart and that God has trusted Mark and I to raise her and knows we can because of Him.  I'm so thankful to have a daughter like Lulu. 

When a women is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for the joy that a human being has been born into the world.  John 16:21 (ESV)
