I finally got the girl and boy tucked in bed. They seemed content as I got ready for bed. The sweet sound of silence was so welcome! Then, just as I was about to slip into bed and turn on my favorite reality show, Selah tiptoed in.
"Ahhhh," I groaned. "Go back to bed. It's time to go to sleep."
"But, Mom," she whined. "Judah is asleep. I need someone to lie down with me."
"It's bed time, Selah," I answered. "I'm having Mommy time, you get back in bed."
(Now for the kicker!)
"Mom, you simply must lie down with me," she said. "The Lord wants you to do it."
And it ends up that He did want me to do it. We had a precious conversation about God and Jesus. About how Jesus lives in her heart and cleans up her messes.
Reality television, take a back seat.
