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
