We got a map to show you Afghanistan

Every night I pray with Elisabeth before she goes to sleep. We regularly pray for friends of ours serving as missionaries in other countries. One of those families lives in Afghanistan, and we pray for them most nights. Not long ago, Elisabeth began asking, "Where's Afghanistan?" I tried to explain, but realized a map might be worth a thousand words. So we got a map and brought it home. I put it aside until I could find some sticky tack to hang it on Elisabeth's bedroom wall. One day when Rebecca came home from work, Elisabeth brought her the map, all rolled up, and said to Rebecca, "We got a map to show you where Afghanistan is." (Yes, she enunciated all the syllables.) A 2-year-old mind is an amazing thing.
