So, my little angel sweetly asked me to do devotions with her last night. Part stalling, Part really wants to learn something... So I open her book and decide we need to learn about Rebekah, because hey, Carly has a WebKinz that she has graced with this name. We are reading about her going to the well and giving Abraham's servant water and watering his camels (What a thoughtful girl!) and pointing out God's Plan. She's listening so intently and looking so thoughtful, you know, the look you REALLY want to see when you are teaching Sunday School, etc. Just when we are about to pray she says, "I have a question." I so should have said, "No questions allowed." I will know in the future. You just never know what you are going to get. Did NOT see this coming.
"Is this Abraham Lincoln we are talking about?"
Oh dear.
No kidding, I made her get up and taught her the Father Abraham song. (Which she had never heard before... we've been so remiss!) She looked at me like I was nuts at first....
Father Abraham had many sons,
many sons had Father Abraham.
I am one of them, and so are you.
So lets just praise the Lord!
Right arm....
then she decided, "oh! A dancing song!" and was completely into it! And was laughing so hard by the time I got to "Nod your head!" that she actually collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath for the giggles. Glad I can be so entertaining. If you know Carly, you can COMPLETELY picture this scene...

I read this yesterday, and have been laughing about it ever since. She's such a nut!
Oh, she makes me laugh. I actually had tears! So love her!
This was without a doubt the perfect "Carly Story" to come home too!
How we haaaaated that song when we were young! We alwaaaaays had to sing that one and grew so tire of it! I'm glad it's new and fun for Carly! Poor girl needs a time line on her wall to help her keep her Abrahams straight!
