Monster in the Woods

You know God blesses us in so many ways every day, sometimes our blessings are sunshine for our potluck or rain for our garden, sometimes blessings are hard to find but other times they're very, very, obvious. The other night was one of those obvious blessings for me with a conversation with a three year old.

This adorable little blonde I sitting across form me at the dinner table and with conversations flying around us she managed to get my attention to tell me her story.

"Miss Katt."

"Yes Ellie?"

"I saw a monster in the woods."

"You did?" Trying to hide a smile I nodded, "When was this?"

"I walked into the woods and I saw a monster," she told me, matter-of-factly.

Amused I couldn't help but smile this time, "Oh... and what did the monster say?"

"I said 'hi', and he said 'Hi Ellie, you better go back to your mommy now or I'm going to eat you.' So I came back."

Hahaha I have to admit that I couldn't help but laugh at this adorable little girl so calmly telling me all about her encounter with the monster. I have no idea how a three year old managed to come up with a story like that but somehow she did.
And the fun didn't stop there! With stories like that the kid's going up to be a writer!
So whether it's a kid's monster in the woods, the smiling clerk at the grocery store, the wacky weather, or the song on the radio remember to look for the Lord's blessings in your everyday life, you might be surprised at where they show up.
