Today Annie was looking out the window, and said.
"God doesn't like the trees with no leaves. The trees are broken and have no leaves. It's a broken tree world".
I have never said a word to her about such a thing, but there was something deep down in her that knows that things are meant for life.
I use the word broken a lot, but I have actually guarded that word with Annie, trying to protect an unblemished world for her as long as I can. Some may say that is stupid, but these days, where the unseen seems so real to her, I pray will aid her down the road when the world is all too real. I pray she will lean into that time when the unseen was just as the real as the seen. She won't have such a difficult time hanging on to a God that she can't see.
And yet, her little soul. Her little cheerful, song filled soul looks at the trees with their bare branches, and knows.
the wisdom of a child.
