"More Jesus?"

I love having Karis in the church service with us (although I'll admit its a LOT of work :)because she will randomly pick up words or phrases that stick in her head and pop out unexpectedly later on. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, the teacher said the word "holy." She repeated it excitedly right in the midle of service, and then the next day she got really excited when she heard it in a song on one of her favorite CD's. Now several times a day she asks me to sing Holy, Holy, Holy with her, a song that never interested her before hearing the word at church. And it is just so precious to hear the way she says "howy? howy? Mama, Howy!!!!" when she wants me to sing it with her. We cannot swing outside in her playset without singing it at least 5 times now :)

This Sunday, "Jesus" was the word that stuck out to her. She repeated it after she heard it, and then that afternoon realized that it is in many of her favorite songs. There is one song in particular that she has always loved that goes, "...my little heart has a great big love, a great big love for Jesus!" She has always loved to dance to it, but now has me play it over and over. And do you know how she asks for it? "More Jesus! More Jesus!" Music to my ears :)
