Oh the tears!

We were in the car today, running some errands, and my son was upset because he wanted to fix something. I can't even remember right now what it was, but lately he has had this desire to make things just so, just the way he wants them.

Anyway, he was whining and complaining, and I finally just told him, "Honey, it's okay. We can't always make things perfect. Nothing in this world is perfect."

And then he looked up at me and said, "Because only God can make things perfect."

My eyes instantly welled up.

way cool!  Today my daughter and I were have "Special Holly and Daddy" morning.  We went to storytime at Berean and then over to Red Robin in the mall for lunch.  We held hands across the table to pray and I noticed she was repeating every word I said in a whisper.  Then I said Amen and she said "Daddy, I was praying with you because this is our special time together."

I can't think of where my joy came from before having kids...

So true!

It's moments like these that totally make up for all of those moments when I want to pull out my hair... :)

This is adorable. One of my favorite theological lessons came from my daughter, Katherine, when she was 5.

We were sitting in church somewhere around Palm Sunday or Easter. Something like that. There had been talk about Jesus' ultimate sacrifice. I could tell she was thinking about something quite intently.

She turned to me, so solemnly and said, "Jesus didn't want to die. He really didn't want to die. But he did, anyway. For us."

You might not think they are getting it, but oh do they ever.

And my little Katherine whoi is now 16 took two mission trips this year, one to Mexico and one to Argentina.
