Ok, so this post is just a little late and I do have much more to talk about; but, today I just wanted to share this. On Thanksgiving morning, Jacob woke up early and was very quiet in his room. Later on that morning as I was busy cooking, he told me that he got up early to read his bible as he wanted to remember important things to thank God for. He specifically looked up Genesis 1 as he wanted to thank God for the things that He created...mountains, sun, stars, etc. It brought tears to my eyes to think that he would even think of doing this. I told him that when you get older, you get so caught up with life that you forget the simple things and what could be more simpler than the beginning of everything. Well, not simple for us but simple for God as He just spoke everything He created into existence. So sweet and innocent (although this is changing thanks to school, riding the bus, etc.). I pray daily that Jacob would think before he says or does anything. And I pray this prayer with him...that whatever comes out of his mouth, he would think before he says it...Is this pleasing to God? Of course, this goes for me too :)
I hope everyone is having a blessed December and not getting too stressed out about presents, parties, etc. I know I am and I am trying to remind myself to be calm, breathe, smile and so on. Have a blessed weekend!
