This afternoon around 4:00, when I was just starting supper, my husband called. He needed us to come and rescue him. He's been on vacation this week and was on the other side of town having coffee and TWG (time with God), but he couldn't get his car started.
So I grab the boys and we head across town. Of course, I'm in a hurry, because I don't want Jon to wait any longer than he has to... and because supper would now be delayed.
I pull up behind an SUV at a stop sign. She's waiting to turn left. Ugh.... she's not taking ANY risks... and as I observe her missing several opportunities to turn, I start muttering under my breath. "This is going to take forever! Come on, lady!"
From the backseat I hear, "It's OK, Mom" as my son tries to reassure me. "God wants us to be kind."
Deep breath. "Yep, you're right, honey," I say. "I'm sorry for being impatient."
And then it hits me. He's getting it!! The God-stuff we're trying to teach him.... you know... "Talk about it when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up" ....it's sinking in! Even though he has many transgressions in a day, I felt much satisfaction that the things we are teaching him about God and His ways is indeed penetrating his little mind and heart! Hurray!!!

What a great story! Out of the mouth of babes! Blessings!
great story. That must've been so encouraging! And I especially think it's great since I'm like the lady in the SUV. No risky left turns for me! I can only hope the people behind me have kids as wise as yours in their car. :)
That's awesome!!!
*very big grin*
