I asked permission to share this here. I thought it was precious. If we would only consider this with every bit of life's sweetness.

At lunch the other day she was eating an apple and it was quiet when she suddenly said, "Mom, when you eat an apple just think how sweet God is." I was so touched at her ability to think spiritually on her own at the time with no help or input from me, though we do speak of God regularly in our conversations. D's daughter, with permission
