A Keen Mind and a Tender Heart

Savannah turned 10 today. She is the fourth of five kids in our family. She has a keen mind. She is always thinking, always observing. Sharp as a tack. Insightful as all get out. Smart as a whip. You name the cliche about having a sharp mind and it describes Savannah.

She also has a tender heart. Always rooting for the underdog, the neglected, the one everyone thinks is a little off. She has compassion and a God-sized capacity to welcome them in, to seek their good, to be their friend.

She watches everything, taking mental notes. She is always a step ahead. She has a way with words. She knows how to combine words that make me laugh and wonder aloud "How did she think that up?"

She teaches me a lot about how God deals with us. She is forgiving, she is loving, she sees good in others, she cares.
