Kalli the Do-er

7/11/207

It was another Sunday evening where I was shut up at home – but this time I was not alone.

My precocious five-year-old was home with me.  She was a little under the weather, and with mama being home, that was the best place to be.

We decided to color together while we waited for our church’s service to come online for us to watch.  I like to use these quiet opportunities with my children to touch base with their souls.  I took in the golden hair going every direction imaginable, the impish fun in her blue eyes, and the sparkle she sheds as she skips and runs everywhere.  She was kind of contained right now by our activity, but even with being under the weather she was squirming around and putting great energy into the simple task of coloring the picture.

So, as I was deciding between one color and the next, I quietly asked Kalli the first question that came to my mind, ”What are you thinking about, Sweetness?”

“Well,” she replies, “Sometimes, I don’t actually think…I just DO something – and think after… Unless it’s a REALLY great idea – then I think first.”

Truer words were never spoken!
