Carrying Each Other

This just happened to me. Miss Sunshine just came over and sat on my lap at the computer. I was reading blogs (really, its a bit of an addiction) and happened to be on Scripture Mom's actual blog (as opposed to reader) so I could congratulate her on reaching her goal (Yhea!).

There was a statue of Christ on the side bar and Sophie pointed to him:

"That is Jesus," she said matter of factly, then continued. "I went to school with him."

This caught my attention. "Tell me more."

She said "It was at the beach. He was carrying me."

I am in wonder as I think of the famous footprints in the sand poem. I know I have never discussed this concept with her. I wanted her to tell me more, but I did not prod her. But she did give me more information said in her delightful sing song voice, "You were there too. He was carrying you. And I was carrying you, too!"


I have had my own experiences that have lead me to fully believe my very own Sunshine watched over me in my teenage years and kept me on the path that would take me to her father. Now that she's my little girl, I carry this kid around a lot. To think, she once was carrying me!
