Amazing...


Every night as we go through our bed time routine we finish off our time before bed by saying prayer as a family. We start off by saying,
“Okay Jaxson what do you want to thank God for?”
Sometimes it’s his new shoes, his stuffed dog “Fluffy George”, for his friends, family, or little things he’ll remember from throughout the day. And sometimes he’ll stump us with something amazing that we don’t expect from a little 2 year old. The other night it was to “keep Nikki safe” or “for listening ears with my teacher Ms. Elise”
Tonight he said “I want to thank God for Joshua #1”. Not really knowing what he was talking about we asked him where he had learned about Joshua #1.
Was it at school? “No.”
Was it at church? ”Yes” he said “we sing about Joshua #1 at church.”
So we get out the bible and look at Joshua #1 and this amazing verse that my sweet little boy pointed out said to “Be strong and courageous.” As I was reading it out loud he repeated back to me “Yes Joshua #1, Be strong and courageous.”
There are many moments as a parent where you stop and look at your child in amazement, tonight was one of those moments. One moment I do not want to forget.
