A conversation with Sariah ...


Sariah is 5 … my brother’s granddaughter!

Sariah: Aunt Jana, are you married?

Aunt Jana: No, sweetie, I’m not!

Sariah: Why?

Aunt Jana: I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.

Sariah: Why?

Aunt Jana: I dunno kid, I wish I could tell you!

Sariah: Do you go on dates?

Aunt Jana: No, I haven’t been on a date in a long time.

Sariah: That’s probly why you’re not married. You got to date some guys … and then one will marry you! (probly is spelled wrong on purpose, that’s the way she said it!)

Oh, the profound wisdom of a child … I wish it were really that simple!

out of the mouths of babes...life is so simple to them. My neices and nephews say that to Brett and I about children. They think it's so simple...

I loved your post today.

I will have to pass that wisdom onto my daughter! The faith of a child is amazing.
