secrets

conversation at the lunch table.

sophie shared her secret with her dad,

she leans over and whispers "i love you"

her dad smiles and tells her he has a secret to tell her,

in her ear he says, "i love you too."

not yet satisfied sophie says,

"i love you more, i love you so and so and so and so and so (counting on her fingers to ten) much"

with his eyes wide scott replies,

"that's so many so's i don't know what to do with them all"

without hesitation sophie encourages him,

"put them in your heart and give them to Jesus, He'll know what to do with them."

we locked eyes, smiled and maybe choked back a tear.
