Ella's words of wisdom


A conversation Ella and i had this morning as she was getting ready to go to the dentist. Picture: Ella is standing with her hand on her heart because she has a boo boo on her elbow and won't bend her arm.


Ella: Mommy God is washing my heart.


Me: What?


Ella: God is washing my heart.


Me: Why do you say that.


Ella: Because...because, when your heart, God is, when your heart goes bumpty bumpty bumpty that means God is giving your heart a bath.


Me: Why would God be giving your heart a bath?


Ella: Because it is dirty and that is where he lives.


Me: Why is your heart dirty?


Ella: Because that is where all the food you eat goes through so he washes it.


Me: HA. No, your food doesn't go through your heart but sin goes in your heart. Like when we aren't nice or don't tell the truth. That makes our heart dirty.


Ella: Yeah, God doesn't like a dirty heart. He is always washing mine so it is clean. See feel.



So glad that God is willing to spend his days washing my heart. :) Ella is wise beyond her years.
