calling my name

" mama! someones calling me name!"
says Ava..hand to ear....× 100 while I tell her no ones calling her name...

" yes mama..Jesus is calling me.he says  Avvvaaaa..."

Jesus is calling you? tell Him your listening!

" Lord..me listenin..." hand to ear

what does he say to you Ava?

and Ava sweetly points to her heart and says.

" Jesus tell Ava not mama ...silly."
