Beyond Precious


Even though our grandkids all live within just a few minutes of us, we get to enjoy them overnight every now and then when their parents are out of town or have a late night planned.  Such was the occasion the night we kept Lauren's girls.  One of the highlights is always getting to hear all about what they are learning in school, even though the first answer is usually, "Uhh, I dunno." 

This night, however, Simone was very excited to recite her Bible verse for the week, because it happened to be the same one her big sister, Savannah, was also memorizing.  What made it so exciting for her was she had memorized not only the same verse, but the verse following, which of course made her much smarter then all the second graders.  Especially since she is only in Junior Kindergarten! 

I was thrilled when she proudly recited it for me to record, since Simone always has a mind of her own, and you never know when she'll cross her arms in resolute refusal, or when she'll be perfectly delighted to perform.  This time, she was perfectly delighted to perform.  So, may I present Miss Simone!
