Don't Want to Forget

Here is a quick conversation with Bekah (age 3) that I don't want to forget. 

Lately, I've been on Shelby about Being the Light, to shine her little light of Jesus all through school. 

Today as with many other I yelled "be the light!" as Shelby's got out of the car and headed into her middle school. 

From the back seat:

Bekah: Be the light? What you mean by the light?

Me: I want her to shine the light of Jesus through school.

Bekah: There are already lights in the school. It's not dark. 

Then the rant begins....

Look Mom, that car has lights. 

All cars have lights. 

Shelby's not a light. 

She's a girl like me. 

I don't have a light. 

Lights have lights mom. 

You shouldn't call Shelby a light Mom.

She's a girl.

Not a light. 

Thank you Bekah for getting that straightened out for me.
