Belated birthday notice…

Maggie’s birthday was last Friday – 28 May.  She is now four, a fact of which she reminds us frequently.   She often points out ways in which she is different now that she is four – things she eats now that she is four, things she used to say when she was three, etc.  On Saturday I took her with me to visit an elderly couple who keep a few toys in their living room for their grandson.  She played with them last time we visited, but this time, when I told her she could play with the toys, she informed me that now that she is four she doesn’t need to play with toys – she only played with them when she was three.  Apparently, she believes she has undergone a radical transformation.  And, of course, she is now almost five.  For all of that, we thank God for giving us a healthy four-year-old who really is growing and learning fast.  Most importantly, she is learning the gospel – we pray that she will believe it soon!
