lia's heart



showing God's love.
that is what lia's sunday school class has been studying the last couple weeks.
she came home 2 sunday's ago with this paper.
it show's idea's of how she can show God's love to others.
what i love most about her idea's is that they are so genuine.
she is a servant.  it comes natural for her to think of others.
and she is always doing things like the pictures she drew below.




the top left picture is her helping me do laundry.  while she isn't a natural in the "neat and tidy" area, she still tries her best to help out around the house without being asked.  
and personally, i love that about her.  i love that she's not concerned about the way things look on the outside.  that kid is all about relationships.


the top right picture is her helping our neighbor earl, rake his yard.  oh how this girl loves elderly people.  she has helped him countless times do yard work talking his ear off the whole time.  however, i'm pretty sure he can't actually hear most of what she says.  even if she knew that, it wouldn't stop her from talking. 


and the bottom picture.  
sam and i cracked up when she described what this picture was.  partly because it's just hilarious and partly because she really would do this for her sister.
lia is on the left holding a target and sofie is on the right shooting a bow and arrow.
 i especially loved sofie's comment after hearing lia explain this to us.
"but, i could hurt you."
"lia, i could kill you."
she couldn't figure out why lia would choose that to show love to her.
what she doesn't know is that lia would do anything for her just like she would do anything for lia.

even though i'm the one homeschooling them, they are the ones teaching me most of the time.
