ME: (singing) ". . .My heroes have always been cowboys. . .and they still are it seems. . ."
JOSEPH: You're heroes are still cowboys?
ME: Not really. It's just how the song goes.
JOSEPH: So that song didn't really happen.
ME: No.
JOSEPH: But the Lord really happened.
ME: Yeah. He happens every day.
JOSEPH: Yeah, everybody knows that, Mom.
ME: The sad thing is, Joseph, not everybody does know that.
JOSEPH: But He still does happen, even though they don't know it, right?
ME: Yep. And the amazing thing is, He loves us and takes care of us even when we don't know He's happening. Even before we believe He's real, He loves us.
JOSEPH: Just like how you love me even when you spank me, right?
ME: Exactly.
*sigh* Suddenly all the whining is worth it.
good story

Posted by: Mom at Febrero 2, 2006 08:49 AMI had a similar experience with mine. It was so encouraging to know that despite all my sinful parenting, God surly is melting and molding His child's heart close to His own. Only by God's grace my kids are alive today....
