Dear Emily

My new fangled phone has so many cool things it does.  One- just one- of them is a notes section.  You can open up a 'note' and type in a grocery list, phone number, special instruction, martini recipe........whatever your heart desires.

My children really like to use this feature- which is fine by me.

In fact, in my phone right now is a note Emily wrote to herself in March (I did not correct her spelling- because someday she will spell everything right and I will need this here to remember when she was younger):

Dear Emily,
I like you because you are me and I like me just the way I am.  Because God made me special and the bible tells me so.  I like me, my mom, dad, brother and my sister just the way we are.  Because their my family and I love them and care about them.  I am myself and thats who I want to be for the rest of my life.  And my family does too.  Let us prey. Dear heavenly father, we come to you today and we lift up to you today Zachy as he continues his jurney in the army, Rosie as she recovers from surgery, and our family as we go on our jurney.  In your name we prey. Amen.

Love Always,
Emily
