"Mommy," she says. "Your house is a mess. You need to clean it up."
"Really?" I say.
"No. I'm just teasing." Big laugh.
"I'm Daddy's girl today. Mommy, I'll be your friend tomorrow when Daddy's at work."
"Mom, I can't go to sleep by myself."
"Elisa, Jesus is with you all the time. You can't see Him, but you can imagine that He is all snuggled up next to you."
"He fits, Mom? His feet are not too big?"
The next night.... "Jesus needs a blanket, Mommy. Tuck Him in. And, scoot me over. I don't want to squish Him."

About Me
- Colleen Wachob
- I am a follower of Jesus, a wife who is madly in love with her husband, and a mama of five daughters. I love seeking out the miraculous and beautiful in the everyday grit and grind of being a mommy.
"There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way... Henceforth they must dwell in the common light of common day. Only a few who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again: and blessed are they among mortals. They and only they can bring us tidings from that dear country where we once sojourned and from which we must evermore be exiles. The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and story-tellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland." -Lucy Maud Montgomery
