I'm amazed at how soon children desire to be like their parents. Livi isn't even 2 and she already knows how to mimic my computer use, telephone conversations, and kitchen prep. I know that she has learned these things by witnessing them on a daily basis and she now views them as natural and "adult" activities. Contemplating this has reminded me to pay careful attention to my habits because Olivia's idea of normal behavior is being set now! Her little eyes are always watching; her ears always listening. What a blessing it would be to catch Livi mimicking my prayer time or Bible reading. How sweet it would sound to hear her encouraging dolls or singing praise songs in the car. If I want my daughter to be a sweet woman with a heart after God's then I better be one as well.
