Heroes

Last night, as we were driving home from some errands, I told Ella the story of David and Goliath.  When we were done, she said, "What happened to David then?" and I said, "He became a hero to the Israelites." 

Ella: What's a hero?

Me: A hero is someone you admire.  A hero is someone who is brave and exceptional.  Our greatest hero is Jesus, because he died on the cross for our sins.

Ella: Who else is a hero?

Me: Daddy is my hero.  Is he yours?

Ella:  Of course!

Me:  Do you have any other heroes?

Ella:  Well, actually, I am a hero.

Me:  You are?

Ella:  Yes. {patiently}  Small people can be heroes, too, Mom."

Yeah, I could see that.
