When our youngest daughter was learning to talk, she made her first joke. She entered the room holding a saucepan, which contained her elder sisters leather boots.
With a twinkle in her eye, she pronounced, "Good food."

For some reason, when children are very young, their tangible world is limited to what they can actually see. About the same time as the "good food" incident, she came into my bedroom as I lay under my blankets, just awakening.
Her little head was barely above the bed. With grave concern, she queried, "Mama, where you glasses?"
Her eyes followed my finger as I pointed to the nightstand.
"Oh," she said. Then with even more urgency than the first question, she asked, "Mama, where you legs!"
Isn't it refreshing to see the world thru the eyes of little ones? I'm so thankful for the fresh perspective the Lord gives us that way.
With a bettered view of life,
Hester
