Charlottes Web is still going strong

Mallory and I have read every night, but one, since I posted about this. I am so proud of us! We are currently at the part where Wilbur, with the help of the barnyard animals, has just figured out he is being raised to be eaten. He and Charlotte have already met and are becoming friends. We ended on this cliffhanger statement from Charlotte, "I will not let you be killed."

Wow! This coming from a friend who barely knows Wilbur. And trust me, in my opinion, Wilbur has not been very loveable up to this point. He has been whiny and annoying. Yet, along comes a spider (tee hee) who immediately loves him and pledges to save his life.

This reminds me of Jesus. He is love and loves each of us immediately and unconditionally. No matter what we act like or what we are like on the inside, He still loves us and says, "I gave my life for you." While he can not guarantee that we will not be killed, He offers us a chance to live, if we will take it.

I am so grateful to have a friend, like Charlotte, who loves me even when I am whiny and annoying. His name is Jesus.
