Glory's Pretend Adventure

At dusk tonight, I went out to call Glory in for bed...she had been riding her tricycle in her pajamas, talking to herself all the while. I told her it was time to come in and she told me that she was only HALF way to where she was going, and that no, she couldn't continue on tomorrow, because she would forget where she was and have to start ALL over! As she reluctantly, yet obediently parks her wheels in the barn, I asked her where she was going and this is the glimps into her pretend adventure that I got: 

She was going to the "Safety House" because there was a BIG storm. She had been staying in a house with a Mama and a Papa and a lot of girls. Some of the girls had computers and some of them didn't. She did, so she could see her Mama and Papa. I asked her if she shared her computer with the girls that didn't have one, but she said that some of the other girls showed them if they found something that was really funny. :P (So much for my plug for sharing. ) They had to go to the "Safety House" because the big storm had almost broken the house. It pulled all the doors off...and blew all the sand out of the sandbox! The Mama and Papa fixed the house and built new doors and bought 5 new yards of sand. (and yes...I am PROUD that my 4 year old daughter knows to measure pretend sand in yards, but back to the story... :) The "Safety House" is called that because it stays up even in REALLY big storms. When God burns up the world it will be gone, but for regular storms it always stays good! And the next house beside the "Safety House" is a snow cone stand!....

My girl amazes me. :)

Who needs toys when you have an imagination like that? I am glad she knows how to measure sand, but even gladder that she knows that even in imaginary worlds God is bigger than all man's efforts at permanence. How grateful I am that God also provided a Safe House for our souls, one that can stand up to even that final storm. "But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened (made alive) us together with Christ...By grace ye are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:4,8
