Life is good!

I don't think these pictures show JUST HOW FILTHY this child was after an afternoon of horseback riding! She was so sweaty and the field was so dusty - the dirt stuck to her sweat like "white on rice"! But what a time she had!! A couple of weeks ago I was crying while watching some of the tornado coverage. Sunshine asked me why I was crying. I replied, "I'm just so sad for the people who died." She said, so matter-of-factly, "Well it's not like they're in a bad place. They're in HEAVEN! " There was a long pause as I marveled at the wisdom of my 6 year old. She finally ended the pause with a thoughtful. ".......I'd get to go horseback riding everyday in Heaven." And that's her sweet idea of Heaven.

And this is HER! When I finished (or so I thought) taking her picture, she said, "I really want you to take a picture of me in THIS pose."

And I captured the essence of Sunshine!

Thanking God for this little bit of Sunshine!
