God Loves It All


I remembered a story about the boys from awhile back that made me smile so I wanted to share. (This is my way of journaling for the boys so I quite often might refer back to another day, month, or year. Also, having 3 boys who are 6 years and under, it is better for their health and mine to many times reflect on the funnies of our journey rather than the bumps we encounter each day!)


One night Brent was putting the boys to bed. Will and Sam share a room and it is really a challenge to get them to settle down. Sleeping is not the priority but talking, wrestling, hitting, burping, passing gas, or dressing in cowboy costumes seems to be. Anyway, Brent had read to the boys and it was Sam's night to pray. He was a little younger at the time so often he was encouraged or prompted as to what to say. He got as far as "Thank you God for our food, family, friends, and .....". Will being the ever sweet brother tried to help and whispered, "and Jesus". Sam, always trusting Will, quickly responded with what he thought his big brother said and added, "Oh yeah, and peanuts."


Bless the boys. I know God loved that little addition;)
