A friend recently told me after hearing this story that every family has at least one Godly child. Well, I think Joseph is mine...
A few weeks ago he was out front playing with his oldest brother and some neighborhood kids. He came in the house after only a few minutes of playing out there and said "Mommy, the ball was coming at me really fast and it was scary, but God told me not to be afraid". How sweet is that?! And then last week I was laying down with him at bedtime and he turned to me and said "Mommy, I love the way God created you". It was pure, unscripted sweetness. Sometimes I can see right into his heart and let me tell you, his spirit is so amazing. I just love that kid, emotions and all. ~sigh~ I can't believe he'll be 5 in just a few months.
He and AJ are in preschool together this year and I was in the classroom 2 weeks ago having lunch with Joseph. I happened to look out the window and see AJ's class on the playground. I said to his teacher, "oh look, I get to see AJ playing without him knowing I'm watching". Well, Joseph must've heard me because when I went back to pick him up later, his teacher told me that in the afternoon Joseph saw him out the window and started banging on it yelling "AJ! AJ!". LOL! Then, after that day, whenever AJ is on the playground, he goes over to Joseph's classroom window and bangs on it trying to find his brother. The teacher opens the window now so they can talk to eachother. These are the things I wish they would always remember. One of my biggest hopes is that they grow up to be great friends one day.

Thanks for stopping by my blog over at Counting it All Joy, I got the fabric for my curtains at a quilting store. they had such a huge selection and a nicer quality of fabric. It was a bit pricier then Hobby Lobby, but that is why I went with a neutral so I don't get bored with it fast.
