insight from four year old ears

We have a family white board upstairs in between the kid's rooms where we post a memory verse and attitudes we're working on. The family focus for Spring reads, "See the positive, hope for the best, smile at Jesus, and no careless words."

Our memory verse for Spring is from Romans 8.28-29: "I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present, the past, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus." I write it out in segments with a picture by each line to help our preliterate daughter.

Dear Keona can't read yet but she has a great memory and a vivid imagination. She memorized this scripture quickly, with one noteworthy edit that I hear every morning during her devotions: "I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the president, nor the past, nor any powers...."

Yes, I plan on correcting it...soon-ish. But until then--as we round the bend in this election year-- I'll keep enjoying the truth in her four-year old words, I'll continue praying for the leadership in our nation, and I'll keep smiling at Jesus.
