Are you nervous?

Allee is in an Easter pageant at school tomorrow, her first pageant ever. As we were saying our prayers tonight, Rick said during his prayer..."Lord, please help Allee tomorrow night during her pageant not to be nervous." When he finished praying, Allee said in the sweetest little voice, "Daddy, I'm not gonna be nervous, so you don't have to pray for me." Awwww. Of course he told her how he wanted to pray for her anyway and all the time. There is just something about hearing a little girl say "Daddy" that will melt your heart! Mine anyway!

Don't you wish as adults we could think like children. I mean, she is excited about the pageant, and will probably be a little timid in front of the people, but nervous....not so much. When I asked her about what nervous means, she said "It means that you feel really bad." I think God gives us our children for joy, but also to teach us many life lessons! We can learn a lot from our children if we choose to really listen to them!
