For you are my little bunny.” It makes me sigh with satisfaction, picturing God saying, “I will run after you. For you are my little child.” And we can rest in the knowledge that he will never stop seeking us out.

Those sorts of stories do make it into family lore, don't they?<br /><br />You know, you brought up a valid point and I'm glad you did. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like for those who suffer from abuse or neglect.

I never heard of this book before and now I don't think I'll ever forget. <br /><br />I won't go into my childhood and my thoughts on running away here because I don't want to today. However, I'll tell you my hubby said he ran away quite often. He'd run a block or so and then get hungry and go back home.

We love how the illustrations in the two books are tied together, with the painting of the cow jumping over the moon appearing in both.<br /><br />Another Margaret Wise Brown book my kids loved is Big Red Barn. It isn't illustrated by Clement Hurd, which is too bad. Still sweet.

I’ve thought my own ways to be supreme, ignoring God’s Word and His plans for me" it made me think that I've done the same thing, only knowing that my ways were not supreme.

Another is "Mama Do You Love Me?" about an Inuit girl asking if her mother would still love her if she did some accidental or naughty things (like break the family's ptarmigan -sp- eggs) or if she changed into something dangerous (like a bear).

This story reminds me of Psalm 139, "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?" <br />BTW, I want a picture of Susie with blue-streaked hair! : )Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.com
