Thus saith the Lord
Dear Chloe has lately become quite attuned to prayer. She loves to pray for her friend Alicia Bright every morning, and last evening as I was fixing dinner she wanted to make sure we prayed before we ate. Well, apparently God has been talking to her too! The other day she informed us that God had talked to her. Wanna know what He said? "Clean your room." We had to laugh, as you can see from this picture how badly in need of cleaning her room is. So far she hasn't taken any steps to heed her Lord's voice, but then she's only three. Cleaning her room is one of the most discouraging exercises in futility imaginable, as it will be just as messy again in two days. Oh, well, eventually she'll be old enough to clean it all herself. At this point all I can do is tell her stuff like, "Put this dress in the hamper; throw this away." It's a start, I guess! Jed was never this messy, so this is a new experience.

It's a comfort to see that Chloe's room is as messy as Addie's. I think it's the clothes-changing thing that does it.
Addie informed us once, "God was talking to me and I said, 'Hush, God! I'm thinking!'" We gravely corrected her, all the while thinking it would make an enormously good sermon illustration.

Chloe and Lexie must be twins. This looks like Lexie's room:)
And what's the problem with the room? It looks like mine :)
