From the Mouth of My Babe

Thomas is cracking me up this morning!  We were sitting at the table while I sipped coffee, read my devotional, and prayed.  It's a precious time to me each morning -- sitting there with my hot cup of coffee warming my hands and my Jesus warming my heart.

This morning, Thomas joined me because he was setting a puzzle at the table.  I was fascinated to watch him -- I had no idea he was so good at setting a puzzle of that size!  He finished it, all by his big boy self, and we high-fived and hugged to celebrate.

"Thomas!  You did it!  And you did that big puzzle all by yourself!  How'd you get so smart?"


"Mama, you know!"


"I do?  How?"


"Jesus put some smart stuff in me!"

Well of course!

And then, not 5 minutes later, Thomas came to the table to ask me to join him in the other room to see something he wanted to show me.

I admit, I was a little frustrated because he kept interrupting what was supposed to be my quiet time.

"I'll come see in a few minutes, buddy.  I'm enjoying my time with Jesus right now."


"Mama!  You're silly!  Come now!"


"Why am I silly?  No, I'm not coming now.  I'll come see in a few minutes."


"No (with a grin), you come now.  Jesus is with you everywhere, so you come now.  You bring Jesus with you!"

I busted up laughing!  I guess I can stop wondering if what we're teaching this little man of God is sinking in!

What a great way to spend my time with the Lord....seeing Him reflected in my little boy :-)
