I was studying in Startbucks this morning when a little girl walked up and started talking to me. She was cute, long curly, brown hair, brown eyes, big smile.... after talking about my chapstick on the table, my colored pens, trying my colored pens, and telling me that her name was Batman, she made her way over to another man and started talking to him. I looked for the mother and she was ordering a drink, not paying any attention to her child, or who her child was talking to. How scary it would be to have a child who was friendly to everyone? It would make it so easy to kidnap her or use her in a scam. After a few minutes and a few more people, "Batman" made her way back to me. It was about 7-8 minutes before her mother came looking for her. She has to have been 4-6 years of age. She carried a mini magna-doodle with her and never drew on it. I wonder who my children will be like when I have them? I wonder what kind of mother will I be?
God~ make me strong enough to remember that there are other more important besides me in this world. Let me be a faithful guardian of my children and keep a visual over them for you.

Amen to that prayer! I know you will be an excellent mom. I don't remember ever letting my kids out of my sight like that when they were little - even for a cup of coffee!
