Precious Moments

"Papa, will you read to me?" Chelsea half asked and half assumed the answer before it was given, as she jumped up on the bed with a pile of her books.
Papa looks to Grandma for help which gets him no where since she is running for camera. So Papa sets his own book aside, scoots over making room for the Princess to climb up and says to her, "Okay, get up here and lets read a story."

Together they set out on an adventure, Chelsea listens so intently but loves to help Papa narrate the story. It doesn't matter to her that Grandma had just read her the same story a few minutes earlier. That fact just makes it easier for her to help Papa out while he is reading.

Time stands still for no one. One day we won't be able to get her to stop long enough to read to her. I pray these moments kindle in her a love of books, of reading, of exploring new places.

Thank you Lord, for moments like this.
