Airplane!

"Zacheus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he.  He climbed up in the sycamore...Airplane!"

Wait a second.  That's not how the song goes!  Unless of course we are outside, Coralyn in her swing, and in the middle of the song she looks up and sees an airplane.  Then, she will point and shout enthusiastically that she has spotted an airplane.  It doesn't matter if the airplane is only a speck in the sky, Coralyn will see it.  And let us know that she has!  Seeing an airplane is quite exciting, apparently, as Coralyn screams with great delight every single time she spots one, which is at least 5 times a day.  I don't think an airplane flies over our house, or wherever we may be, without Coralyn seeing it.

I am pretty impressed with her eyesight, not to mention her attention to detail.  Not much gets by her, whether it be an airplane flying thousands of miles up in the sky or some off-handed comment I say or a random yard ornament or a letter on a road sign.  Coralyn notices them all. 

And remembers everything. 

I pray that  God uses this "talent" for His glory.  I hope Coralyn pays attention to those around her, taking heed to the needs of others -- especially the "small" ones that may go unnoticed by most.  I pray she points these needs out and illicites the help required to provide people with the food, clothing, water, shelter, compassion, mercy, and love they need.  I pray her heart is sensitive and responsive.  I pray God will give her eyes to see what He sees, to view people and situations the way He does, and then to love others with His love.
