The Things They Say…

So the other day Doug came into the kitchen and Ellie was drawing a picture.  The picture was 2 stick figures with a large ball between them.  When he asked what she was drawing this was her explanation.  “This one is Jesus, this one is me and this is the earth (pointing to the ball).  And Jesus is really real Daddy, he made the earth and he made me.  Some people don’t believe he’s real but he is.  And he lives in my heart”  Then she thought for a second and said “I think he’s eating right now”  It seriously made my day.  I want to remember her like this forever.  Someday the innocence will be gone and my heart will break a little.
