My husband decided to take 1ds8 to work with him last week. Working the night shift, he thought it would be more conducive to having his son in tow and that 1ds8 is old enough to experience what a night of his work is like.
Overall, 1ds8 was thrilled to tag along and enjoy some individual attention with Dad, although he did complain of being bored several times throughout the night.
My husband had to transport a storage box from one location to another and 1ds8 helped him with that for which he received $2.50. (He was thrilled!)
My husband had a couple of meetings and my son had to sit in another room. A couple of my husband's co-workers chatted with him during that time. What impressed me most, were the topics that they chatted with him about. Seeing that he'd brought along one of the Narnia books, they talked to him about them and the movie and compared the two, this led to questions of whether he'd seen The Passion of the Christ (he hasn't) and the Bible studies that one of the guys has done. They haven't even had these conversations with my husband! As I picture my 8 1/2 year old son, sitting with these men and conversing naturally and intelligently about spiritual things in a secular office, I can't help praise God for the godly character that He is developing in him! God is so good! |
