Ok, I know it's been a LONG time since I've posted on this blog. I promise to get better. I've wanted to share some of the beautiful things our sweet boys have been saying.
In the middle of a store, Thomas said "I want to tell you something, mommy. God made you special." He has since started to sing a song with the words "God made me special" over and over.
Hayden pointed out a tree with broken branches near his school. He told me that we should pray for the tree. Before I could say anything, the boys started praying for the tree. Hayden asked God to "just touch the tree and heal it, God."
Here's my favorite: (Just a little background knowledge for you. Hayden is small for his age.)
Hayden told Thomas: "I'm bigger than you. But, did you know that at my school, I'm the littlest." I asked Hayden how that made him feel, being the smallest in his class.
His response brought tears to my eyes.
"This is how God wants me to be. I'm not complaining because it's what God wants."
What a beautiful attitude! We have used Jeremiah 29:11 to help Hayden understand several things along the way, like when he started to question who he would marry and what he would do when he gets older.
His response reminded me of Psalm 139 13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; you works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
It amazes me that before my boys were born, before they were even formed, God had chosen everything about them and their little bodies. God doesn't make any mistakes and I'm so grateful that He is in charge. I'm so grateful for these amazing young men in the making. I pray that God will give us the wisdom to help nurture these little hearts and guide them in God's truth.
Love to all!
