I’m mama to the sweetest…and spunkiest…toddler in the world.
Or, at least it feels that way.
Oh, the spunk and sparkle that my Maelie has packed into her three years and almost-eight months of life so far.
We joke in our house that she came out of the womb with a mind of her own, and that hasn’t changed.
And what’s been awesome to see is how God has used her spunky personality to bless others…even though she’s young.
It’s translated to things like random people at church getting full-on hugs. Chatting with people in the store…one day when she was two, she literally greeted an entire family as they walked into Target.
She’s not afraid of anyone…and she’s not afraid to love them, either.
Last fall my husband took her to a playground just down our street. While she was playing, a little girl fell off her bike nearby and was crying. As people went to help her, Mae jumped up to go, too. Wanting to keep her out of the way, my husband asked her to stay with him.
And in all of her three year-old wisdom…and there was a lot of it…she realized what she could do. She stopped, folded her hands, and prayed for the little girl.
That spunkiness? It’s also becoming compassion…
Today I’m over at God-Sized Dreams, sharing a piece of my story…really, a piece of the story God is writing for my little girl.
