Pure Heart

Blessed

are the

pure in heart

for they

will

see

God.

Matthew 5:8

This one turns 6 years old tomorrow.

She is a pure heart.

An honest one.

{Unless it comes to telling whether or not she has brushed her teeth.}

Otherwise,

she's a "no bologna" kind of girl.

Sometimes it's stressful.

But mostly, what is most important,

is that she is all-out, wholehearted.

In her "yes".

In her "no".

In her belief.

And this time,

she wanted God to have this drawing she made.

She thought perhaps she could keep it until she died someday

and she could take it with her.

But then it would stay in the casket,

so that wouldn't work.

She decided He should come get it.

The next day, it was still here.

WHY won't He come get it, Mom???

My answer, 

I don't know.

What should we DO, Mom?

My answer,

Let's take it to church and we'll ask some people.

Yes!  Let's have a MEETING about it.

she says.

So the next day,

we went to church.

She sat beside my friend

and told her about it.

We had a Bible school meeting,

so we prayed about it.

And my friend says,

What about helium balloons?

She embraced the idea.

So here we are sending the picture

off to God.

She ran after.

We watched it head west for a while.

And then it went

straight

up.

Do you think an angel got it and took it to Him?

I don't know, honey.

Do you think He is looking at it?

I know He sees it.

And He sees

your

heart.
