Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver are Words Fitly Spoken

My daughter Laura has a way of saying just the right things at the perfect time to make you feel all warm and bubbly inside.

When she was two years old, she made her dad's day! We were decorating the Christmas tree and asking the kids WHY do we celebrate Christmas? Chris was 4 at that time and Josh was just 6 months old. Chris would quickly fire off the answers before Laura had a chance to respond, which really irritated her! So Brad rattled off more questions and Chris answered before Laura could...so she was determined....she sat fast on her heels and when Brad asked, "So WHO is the King of Kings?" Before Chris could even open his mouth Laura had jumped up and shouted DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should have seen the look of pure admiration on Laura's face and how quickly Brad was reduced to a puddle of warm fuzzies. He told me that he would correct her theology later, but for that instant he was going to just enjoy the moment.

But today....she made MY day! She and Brad were having a heart to heart talk and I overheard Brad tell her, "You are a wonderful girl, what did I do to deserve a daughter like you?" Laura looked across the room at me and said to Brad, "You married a woman like her".

Just mop me up like melted butter off the floor...!!
