Thank you for sharing such a beautiful glimpse into the way your daughter lets the image and likeness of God shine so brightly through her! May we all be so transparent.

(And Catholics don’t pray to saints either :) We just ask the cloud of witnesses to pray for us, whether they’re dead or alive, because we are all one in the Body of Christ.)

Rachel, what a beautiful gift you give to us in this sharing. We, too, have a three year old (but a granddaughter) that lives with us (in our four generation household) and it is a wonder to behold her wonder.
