Happy Valentines Day

Went to Church. didn't like it much. the guest minister was a little over the top for my taste.

Ellie made the trip to church this morning worth it. She had a great time in church school and after church, Ellie came up with a valentine left from the ones she brought to give away to her friends. She said she wanted to give it to someone who is in the church. I said, "One of the Sunday school teachers? "
"No, that guy you wanted to talk to but didn't that one time." I said, "Jon? The minister?"
She said, "Yes."

Ellie was dwarfed in the greeting hall full of adults. She patiently waited until Jon was free. She went up to him shyly. I introduced them as I don't think they have met. She handed him the valentine and said, "Happy Valentine's day." He gushed and beamed and pinned it to his robes.

I walked out of the church and said, "Ellie, you are a very nice person."

She said, "Yup, especially today."

I kissed her on the head and we headed to the coffee shop.
