a book in bed

Abigail  usually has a book in the bed with her when she falls asleep each night.  Tonight, she said to me in the darkness of her room, "Mama, do you know why I like to sleep with my Bible?  'Cause it makes me feel safe at night in case I get scared." 


My 


heart


melted.


Another tender moment just a few seconds later when she said, "I like the true story of Jonah, Mama.  God opened the mouth of that big fish and SPIT Jonah out just like that!  Jonah disobeyed at first but then he changed his mind.  That's so cool!".
