jack

a couple days after jack started school, i asked him as he ate his lunch one day about his friends at school.  he listed a couple of his buddies and i asked if everyone in his class had a friend.  i really want him to be a good leader and friends with everyone.  he said "yeah, i think so.  wait, no, sydney n. doesn't play with anybody."

i said something like, "it's important for everyone to have friends. it makes people sad when they don't have anyone to play with.  and you are such a great friend and good example.  do you think next time you play, you could ask sydney to play with you and your friends?"

he looked at me and said, "mom, your words are so beautiful they make me feel like i want to cry."

so sweet.  we had a tender conversation about the Spirit, and what it does to our hearts, how we feel when He works within us. i felt very privileged to have that Gift and to help my child feel His gentle whispers.  what a blessing.
