THE WELL-BEHAVED WATER BALLOON

Our young daughter drew a smiling face on a purple water balloon, and has been carrying it around like a precious baby in a tea towel.

“It’s such a GOOD water balloon,” Maddy, 5, informed me proudly. “It doesn’t throw tantrums and it does everything I say.”

My face must have revealed my thoughts, for she quickly added, “That’s because it’s SIX.”

Prayer request: A friend named Jane is hurrying to Chicago to be near when her first grandchild is born, any minute now. Lord, be in the hands and minds of the childbirth team so that the precious new baby can be delivered skillfully and peacefully. Help Jane soak up the memories of this big life event as she transitions into becoming a grandmother. And may the little one have her gorgeous eyes! (Proverbs 23:18)
