I was encouraged to post the following sweet thing Avery did for me recently. (thanks Shelley)
On Monday morning I woke up from having been sick with a really bad sore throat all weekend. I hadn't slept well that night and was super tired. When Avery woke up around 7:00 she asked me if I was feeling any better. I told her I still had a really bad sore throat and I didn't sleep well. She immediately went into my sweet-want-to-take-care-of-you mode. I hope I hold in my head forever the sweet spirit she had as she said, "Okay Mom, I'm going to clean up the house for you". Mind you, there wasn't a whole lot to do, but just some stuff that needed to be put away. She was a little busy bee running around - picking up toys, shoes, cups, straightening up pillows and blankets. (Okay, so listing all that makes it sound like the house was a wreck! haha) Anyway, she had the little heart of a servant and wanted nothing but to serve me that morning.
Avery, I am so thankful for you and your heart of G-O-L-D! Remember God gave you that heart to be a servant for Him. I hope I can do my job and encourage and strengthen that gift in you! I love you SWEETHEART! xoxo

Bless her sweet little precious heart!!! I love hearing how God is already working in her heart. Hope you are feeling better, Amber!
She is such a sweet and caring girl...takes after her Mom!! :)
Sweetheart, She is just acting out what she sees. A mother who is compassionate and loving to her family.
What a precious memory! She had to learn it from somewhere . . . and I bet it wasn't from cartoons! Amber, you're a servant to those you love as well and I love that about you!
