A "Thank You" Craft for God

I almost never cry, but I just might as I write this post. My sweetest Liliana had some sort of stomach bug the past two days. It started with a sore throat at about 4 a.m. the day before yesterday (Friday), she came to our bed to tell us about it at that time. The sore throat lasted, then she had diarrhea then threw up 3 times yesterday afternoon. I only go into such detail to document this for Liliana as she counted the times she had to "spit-up"...such a sweet girl... Well, today she is all better. She was very tired this morning and took a big nap to recuperate. By the afternoon she had most of her appetite back and was feeling chipper. We played Candyland and had a sweet time together. Later in the afternoon she worked for about 30+ minutes making this craft for God. It is a "thank you" craft for Him for healing her. She was so excited about making this for Him. She said a few times in a very excited "tickled" voice "He's going to love it!". She also said that some of the craft is for Joseph and for one of his brothers. .......
.......the Joseph thing explained: She loves the Joseph King of Dreams movie by DreamWorks. She has watched it many times over the past two weeks (we own it). It is a very good and accurate portrayal of his life, so I am delighted for her to watch it. About a week ago she dreamt about him towards the morning hours and awoke with the dream fresh in her mind (when you do this, the dreams feel more real to you). Well, ever since that very morning she has just been in love with Joseph and wants him to live with us. She planned out that we need to buy him a bed and everything and that all of his brothers wont fit in our house. Seems almost like a sweet little crush...I had a crush on the Pink Panther when I was about her age...too sweet!!! She asks Donnie and I if she can "keep" Joseph for herself. She says he is her best friend and that he is sweet and today she spent about 2 minutes imagining he was in our living room. Hehe!
