"Jesus Gave Me These"

The other day McKinley, Reagan, Emily and I went to the grocery store. I put Reagan into the driver's seat of the race car basket and bumped into McKinley as I backed up. She fell down hard, hurt her hip and started to cry. As she stood up some dice fell to the ground rolled around. She grabbed them, looked up, laughed through her tears and declared, "Jesus gave me these!" She was overjoyed for the rest of the shopping trip, sure that Jesus had rained dice from Heaven for her to hold in her pocket forever. From everything Emily and I could gather about where we were and how the dice appeared, her assessment was correct - it was a miracle, and Jesus gave her those.

Ha! I love it. I love what kids say about Jesus. When Hinckley was afraid to go outside after the airshow, he would always start crying whenever we'd go outside and hear an airplane overhead. He would grab me, bawling, and refusing to let go, saying, "Mommy, Jesus loves Hinckley! Jesus is coming again!" It was quite the sight. Oh dear.
