Dear Ansley

Your loving and sensitive heart never cease to amaze me. Today while we were driving home an "Amber Alert" came across the radio and my phone. You asked what it was so I explained that a child had been taken and no one knew where he/she was. I told you again that this is why we never want you to run away from us, because something like this could happen. I prayed right there in the car and I could tell your heart had been touched. I had asked you to get your laundry basket for me when you got home. But when we got home you said you would like to go in your room and pray first. I said that was fine :) I waited a few minutes and then went and stood outside your closed door. I began to weep as I heard you pray to the God of Heaven to protect this child and to help the child and the parents not be worried.  You were so sure that God would do it. You had so much faith. The kind of faith He tells us to have.

I've said before and I'll say again - your heart is a beautiful place. I know you are a sinner. I know that technically your heart is evil, but your heart is also full of love. I pray that never changes. Thank you for reminding me how to pray to my Father.

I love love love you,
Mama
