Oh how loved we are

I laid down with the girls last night and spent a few minutes talking with them before they went to sleep.  This is possibly one of my favorite times of day because all is quiet and the girls will often tell me things that they wouldn't tell me at any other time.  

Last night was no different.  I laid down with them, we said prayers and then I reminded them how much their dad and I loved them.  I told them that as much as we loved them that God loved them more and that even though He made the whole world and everything in it He was concerned with them and their happiness and their worries and everything about them.  Maddie finally piped up and said "He knows the number of hairs on my head, Momma."    Just a simple statement of fact and a reminder of how loved we are.
