Last night as D and I were rocking before bedtime, hubby and I were watching a Billy Graham DVD of his visits to Russia and his being allowed to minister in Russia .
Anyhow, as D and I were rocking she was seeing the scenes of Moscow and Red Square. A few minutes went by and she said,
"That's where I was born."" Yes baby, that's where you were born - in Russia", I answered.
A few minutes later, we're still rocking and she asks,
"What does it mean to get born?"Oh boy, I thought, here we go. The big tummy talk! She still doesn't know that babies come from mommies' tummies.
"Well, baby girl", I say,
"it means when you came into the world.""Oh", she says around the thumb in her mouth. We rock on.
"Mommy", she says,
"when I was a baby in Russia, I was so happy when you came to get me."Tears well up in my eyes as I say,
"We were so happy to get you too!" "Mommy and Daddy prayed for a really long time for God to give us a baby girl and finally He said yes and I'm so thankful." "Mommy, why are you crying?""Because I love you so much, and I'm remembering how sad I was before you were able to come home. "Then she reached up and touched my cheek with her little hand and said,
"I love you so much too, Mommy."That's what it's all about!Till later . . .
