I’ve been doing a little de-junking and found a few little treasures:
This is Anna’s Birthday list for her 5th birthday last year. She dictated her desires to her then 7 year old brother, William who wrote it down. I get a record of two children in one small list! I love the prices too! Requested items are handcuffs, books (1 or 3), phone/headphones, doll, makeup. I wish I knew what she wanted to do with the handcuffs!
The next thing I found while cleaning up is a talk Anna gave in church this summer. The topic of her talk was the scripture in John 13: 14-15, “If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.” I asked Anna to tell an example of when she followed Jesus’s example. This is the story she told, “While my mom was gone yesterday I knocked on Sister Dowd’s door (our across the street neighbor) and Satan told me to sneak into her house, and the spirit told me to walk home. So I walked home.” She went on to say, “I feel sad when I don’t follow Jesus. I feel happy when I follow Jesus’s example. Usually I am being obedient when I follow Jesus’s example and so my parents and brothers and sister are happy too.”
