Thank You

So today I had a rough day at work.

Rough day, and I had the daunting task of putting the kids to sleep by myself.  Those of you with kids know how this can go, it is like a whirlwind.

When it seems like it is only going to get worse God can put the perfect people in your life to lift your spirits.

Tonight it was my children.

I picked them up to take them to eat.  And this is when my day started to get a little brighter.

My daughter is 3 and a half and talks a lot.  I mean non stop, like your head is spinning when she is in the back seat just talkie, talkie, talkie.   So this is when my day turned, I am quoting.

Mason says “I love the smell of flowers they smell like fingernails and toenails.”

Profound right?  This just made me laugh out loud.

She then decided she wanted to say some prayers.

Quote : Thank you God for Jesus, Thank you God for God, Thank you God for cars, thank you God for trees, Thank you God for stores, Thank you God for grass . . .

This went on for about five minutes . . . other things we thank God for

-people, grownups, smaller people, clouds, rain, etc

All followed up by an AMEN!

Then we get to eat and my son gets food on his shirt and demands he needs to take his shirt off, over and over again.

So all in all this day has been brightened by my kids, lets just hope the bathing, reading, and putting to sleep keeps me smiling.

Thank you God for letting me father this innocence, which I wish I still had.
