Children just seem to know

By

My daughter seems to be one of those children/people that knows when some one is hurt, down or sick and she'll make an effort to make them feel better.  It is really sweet and sometimes it can be a little scary.

Today after dinner, I looked at my husband and daughter watching tv and said - no, let's go for a walk instead.  As everyone was getting on shoes, my little girl Ruby looked at me at said I want to give that flower to Peyton's mom that would be my neighbor in the back.  So we stuck it in a "vase of convienence" that would be a water bottle and left the house.

As we are turning the corner, we ran into Dave Ferguson, Peyton's dad.  He was taking a walk with Davin, his son, Allie his littlest girl and their new puppy.  He told us that Joy (Peyton's mom) had an accident last week and she was still hurting.  She had been riding her bike and fell off in such a way as to cause the handle bars to gore her.  Owww!

So we all walked to my neighbor's house and Ruby gave her little flower, it was a daisy, stuck in the water bottle from Giant to my neighbor Joy. 

We don't see these neighbors all that much because they live behind us and I have decided not to try to figure out how my five year old knew that Joy needed that flower.

Regina, it is amazing how thoughtful and intuitive kids are. I think we as adults often don't really give kids credit or really listen to what they are saying because we are either in a hurry or only half pay attention. My son is very similar to your daughter. Enjoy that awesome quality!

Out of the mouth of babes!  Don't try to figure it out Mom, just run with it.  I believe little children are very much in touch with the heart of God.

That is a very sweet story. Yes, kids often seem to know things and pick up on situations.

I think we all know and as adults we start to turn it off ( or even sooner) or just stop trusting it.
