Open up!

Last night, Emma was praying her usual Thank you God for ____, and, and, and, and,....and then she takes a deep breath and says...
Please open the ears of my heart. (I stop and listen a little more carefully.)
And God please open the eyes of my heart. (yep, that's a good one)
And God please open the voice of my heart. (please, let that one work)
And God please open the earrings of my heart. (hmmm....)
And God please open the nose of my heart. (for what? smelling good things?)
It was very cute and Miss Lynne should be very proud. I'm thankful for our youth programs and so happy our church has so much to offer!

FROM MISS LYNNE:
Little Emma Joyce Frederick leads the mighty warriors on!!!!! Thank you for sharing. I have to laugh about the earrings as I gave Emma a heart to hold that I had punched holes where the ears go and put in the holes some big dangly earrings with red stones. You never know what they are going to pick up on.
As far as the nose???? That was TOTALLY THE HOLY SPIRIT moving in her little life. Yes , yes, yes, a fragrant aroma we lay at Jesus feet.
Emma's love for Jesus continues to fuel the fire within me. Her heart for the ONE TRUE LIVING GOD will move mountains in her lifetime. It already has!!!! I just know it!!!!!

THIS WAS A CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM HEAVEN FOR ME THANK YOU
Miss Lynne
