Everything comes full circle

More of Selah's photos

So tonight we were reading, me and the kids, ( the elusive husband was at work)

Selah brings out a book that Mana (bills grama) gave her. It was the books that were called ready set grow, they were a series of books from my childhood that talked about things like , getting along with your brothers and sisters, eating healthy , lying, etc. You may remember them, they were the ones that had drawings like cartoons that acted out the different scenarios, they showed the kids arguing and yelling in one cartoon and tears flowing in the next.

Anyway... Selah started to read it, and she starts pointing out the cartoon parts that she likes, which were exactly the parts I liked when I was a kid. This particular book was about fighting with your brother and sister and the reasons why we do it. It was some pretty deep stuff. We came upon reason #3 everyone wants to feel special- and it talked about all having special gifts, and talents even though they are different from others etc. So it asks questions at the end of the section and I said , " What makes you so special Selah?" and she said , "Because I'm the best at being Selah, and Aslan is special because he's really good at being Aslan!

Oh if we could all just know that, God created us to be the best us we can be, not someone else, I know we hear it all the time but oh if we could believe it

So Aslan brought out the book, (also one I read as a kid,) Called Mom and me, and read it to us. (this is the series where the little creature always has a grasshopper and spider or mouse on every page) I used to love these books as well , it's true everything comes full circle.
