Daddy's Servant

We've always been very intentional about teaching Ellie about serving, showing God's love to others, and putting others' needs first. We've been talking about it again lately, and I pointed out something that Grandma did to be a servant to others. Ellie jumped in, "And you're a servant too!"

Before I could even enjoy the warm swell of pride that my daughter had noticed my example, she continued, "You're Daddy's servant!" From the mouths of babes!

In Isaac's defense, it's easiest to point out things that I do to serve Daddy since we obviously see him the most. Also, she followed it up with, "And Daddy is your servant!" Okay. Now I feel better. That's the way it's supposed to be.

that's cool that she was able to see that Isaac serves you as well. it's interesting that you blogged about this - yesterday i was thinking a lot about yours and Isaac's relationship in the area of serving. you guys do an amazing job of it. i see it inside and outside of your home. hopefully one day i'll be able to enjoy something similar.
