Just had to...

I just had to write this down before I forgot...about one minute ago, Hannah came into the kitchen and said that she was going to make a project. (which basically  means, coloring/drawing a picture for someone) She said that it was not going to be for one of her friends, but someone else and I had to guess who. 
She gave me a clue, "It's someone way, way up in the sky." 
"Jesus?" I asked.
"Yes!" she said. "I'm going to make a picture for Jesus because he loves me. He loves all of us."
"That's right." I said.
"And Mommy, when I die, I'm going to take my picture with me to Heaven and give it to Jesus." 
As I'm grinning from ear to ear, she continued...
"I hope I don't forget it. If I forget it, I'll miss it." 
I replied, "You know what, Jesus is going to be so happy to see you, even if you forget your picture." 
Hannah's matter-of-fact response, "Yeah." 

Now, she's sitting at the table drawing her picture to bring to Heaven with her. What a priceless gift she is! And then there's Ellie standing on the chair next to her, refusing to sit down...she's stomping her foot and all! Ahhh, another priceless child. :O)
