ELEVATOR!!!!


My daughter was 4 years old when we were on our way to grandma's apartment one summer day. I had quite a number of few things to carry up and so I asked Nadia to run ahead and call the elevator. Walking towards the elevator with bags in each arm, I could hear her yelling "eleeeeevaaaatoooor, eleeeevaaatooorrrr!" "Nadia, baby, what are you doing?" I asked. With an innocent and yet puzzled look she said, "I'm calling the elevator. You told me to call the elevator."

Oh, to be as literal as a child when it comes to obedience- taking God's word at face value. If He should say "call the elevator," would we begin to call out "ELEVAAATOOORRR" too?
