Sarah and I are reading a new book together called "Everyday Graces". There is a chapter in there about America. We read America the Beautiful, ettiquette of the flag (I'm a HUGE stickler for flag ettiquette!!! I'm angry when I see a torn one. I love being at a military bases at noon when the entire place stops right where they are to pay honor to the flag/country. I could go on and on.), and lastly the Pledge of Alligence. In the book there is a pencil drawing of 3 children with their heads bowed and their hand on their hearts and Sarah asked what they were doing. "They are probably saying the pledge" I told her. "Under God?" she asked. My heart melting inside I said "something like that. do you know why they are saying the pledge?" By now, we are on 2 different trains of thought, but her answer was still profound: "probably because the country is in a lot of trouble and they need His help, and maybe they are scared too."
Profound, don't you think?
But then the almost-4 yr old in her appears..."like when you are scared?" I ask her.
"no, when I'm in trouble. but I like when I'm not".
For what it's worth...I like when she's not in trouble too. :)
