"Red is my favorite color too." ~ Angie Good

Do you ever stumble upon a situation that you just know you were SUPPOSED to be there and be available to be a bit of encouragement for someone?  Tonight it happened to me!!!  What an exciting thing -- to be at a place where I could feel the Lord impressing on my heart to help out a friend...and I listened to that still, small voice urging me to volunteer to help.  

Something happened with the scheduling...and not scheduling and re-scheduling and somehow my friend was short a helper tonight.  I could see, understand, and appreciate the frazzled look on her face when she said, "I'm not sure who is supposed to be back here helping me."

The fun part about helping out with such a vast age group....3 years old up through 3rd grade...is that the 3- and 4-year olds are hysterical!!!  When I was in college, I had to do a practicum with this age group.  Ooooh my goodness, I forgot how very literal this age is.  

We had great fun tonight!!!  My favorite conversation of the evening was...

4-year old boy:  "My favorite color is red."
Me:  "Red is my favorite color too.  Why do you like red?"
Same 4-year old fellow:  "Cause it's the color of dinosaur blood!!!"
Me:  [insert pause]  "Ok."  [insert another pause]  "Well, I love it because my kitchen has cherries and cherries are red."
Same 4-year old:  "Yep.  But it's the color of dinosaur blood too."

Oh to be inside the head of 3- and 4-year olds.  :)
