Little Miracles

Last weekend while I trimmed bushes to prepare for winter, Ellie entertained herself by  raking a tiny pile of leaves to jump in. She was so proud of it she asked me to take video of her jumping in them. Funny.


She asked if she could pull the leaves off the trees to make a bigger pile. "No," I replied, "let's leave the leaves alone."


Ellie sat there for a second, hands in her lap, surrounded by her little pile. "I know," she exclaimed, "I'll ask God to do it."


Wouldn't you know it... just two nights later, a wicked storm blew through. At breakfast Wednesday morning, she looked out the window to see our yard filled with leaves. Lots and lots of leaves!!! 


"Look, Mom. God blew the leaves down for me!"


He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. (Matt. 18:2-3)
