Overheard amongst my crowd this week… {you can’t make this stuff up}

Listening to my littles process and answer things…and many times just listening to conversation between them. Some funny…some thought-provoking…some just silly… making this momma laugh.

Preciousness! Kids do say the sweetest things! I teach kindergarten and I hear lots of sweet treasures all day. The best yet was when one of my kinders said, Mrs Chalker, I love you bigger than Jesus! She also told me I smelled like an angel once. Melt my heart.

What a super sweet gift God gave you in unexpectedly sort of ‘shortening’ your time…not that it really is…but in making it feel like it is! That’s so cool! And He can absolutely do May, too!

And what a precious evening it sounds like you each had on your ‘dates’ – the one at school and the one at home!

I have 4 grown daughters and know those feelings that you experienced when dress shopping with them. My oldest daughter always picked out prints that contained the color black. I protested, but my husband gently told me to allow her to be whom God had created her to be. He was such a wise man!

All 4 of my daughters are unique and different in personality….lovely and beautiful inside and out. They are my greatest blessings!

I can’t wait until we are there, our homestudy is done and we are anxiously awaiting our I800A approval. Eeek! Following you makes me realize that this will actually happen and all this waiting is worth it! 🙂 So thank you and keep the good news coming! 🙂
