Childlike, not childish...
So, Immi wakes at 5.30 this morning and dresses herself completely -unheard of unless she is going to Flambards (amusement park) as one handed dressing is tricky - especially underwear. At breakfast I said to her, "Immi, I would really like to get an army of people praying for you."
"Who Mum?" she replied.
"Everyone, anyone in God's family who is willing."
"Hmm, only those over 18." She replied.
"Why?" I asked, "Sometimes younger people have more faith than older ones. We are told to come like little children aren't we?"
"Its ok Mum," she replied, "Remember the story when God defeated the enemy with just a few people and sent the others way? He can do it with any amount."
She turns back to the dishwasher and starts unloading it....
I stare, amazed....
