Concerns

Sarabeth, this week: "I could never live without you, Mommy. First of all, I love you too much. And secondly, Daddy wouldn't know what to do."

Hungry Boy

My boy Christopher has always been the early bird of my little ones. One morning when he was four years old, he woke me up asking for his "supper" (by which, of course, he meant his breakfast). I sleepily mumbled, "in a minute...." Moments later, Christopher nudged me again. "When's a minute gonna be done?"

When we got downstairs to the kitchen, he pleaded, "I need some juice! What's a little boy without any juice?"

He's a boy worth waking up for....

Future Plans

Christopher, when he was four:
"Mommy, I just want you to know that, in the future, when I have children and they disobey, I'm going to give them candy anyway. I just wanted you to know that."

Grammatically Speaking

Sarabeth, on the way to church tonight:

"Know what my favorite words are? My favorite words are necessarily, technically, and literally."

Okay....

Historical Significance

Sarabeth: "If Pocahontas knew she had a movie about her and a doll of her, I think she would be very honored."

The Heart of a Child

In school, we're learning about the ministry of the Far East Broadcasting Company. They produce radio programs about the gospel message that are transmitted into countries closed to traditional missionaries.

Yesterday Christopher brought all the money from his savings bank and put it into our FEBC donation box. He said, "Isn't this better than dumb ol' toys? I don't need toys. I feel bad for those kids that they don't know about Jesus. I don't like it that they worship those idols."

We're praying for children across the world....

Confidence

Christopher: "Mommy, do you like my Lego creation?"

Mommy: "Yes, Christopher. You did a great job designing it."

Christopher: "Isn't my Lego creation like one of the Wonders of the World?"
