It has been so long since I have written and the other day I sat down and looked at some old posts. They made me smile and think how much my kids have grown and changed. It was fun to go down memory lane. So, today as I was putting Joshua to bed and he had plenty to say, I thought it was time to write down some of those things - the things that make me smile and make me remember how quickly they change. There will come a day when they won't tell me everything they are thinking (it does happen already around here). Not that writing them down with still the clock, but it will be fun and perhaps soothing to the soul in those moments when not much is being said, to stop, look back and smile!
J to Mom (after reading a street sweeper book at rest time) - "You remind me of an elephant because you know so much and elephants are really smart. Elephants are kind of like street sweepers because they pick up things with their trunk and put them in their mouth. But they don't pick up trash and dirt like a street sweeper does."
J to Mom (another day at rest time) - "I do like restin'. I like restin' with you mom. But I do like restin' with Jesus. I believe in Jesus mom." (Melt My Heart!)
J to the family after reading the Bible story book at dinner - "I know a really good Bible story. It has a guy with a strange name in it. His name is Tooty. Here is the story... There was a guy named Tooty who rode his camel and he tooted. The End" (nice one, thanks?!)
S to Mom - "I had a funny feeling inside my heart and I just felt like I need to pray for someone" How awesome is that, that already Sarah is recognizing Jesus speaks to her and will prompt her to pray!
I know there have been many more funny, touching, silly, sweet things said around here. It would be impossible to write them all down, but here are a few and here's to being young and speaking your mind!
