Homeschooling by Heart

Sep. 25, 2006 - Special "BOB"

The other day my son piped up in the car after church..."Mom, who is 'special Bob'?"
I turned half way in my seat to kind of face my oldes son behind me and repeted "Special Bob?" "Yeah!" he quizzed, "who is special bob?" I then faced my husband, who was driving, and looked at him quite puzzled at my son's question. I tilted my head to one side and raised my eyebrows. My husband went to thinking and then asked our 11 year old son, "Do you mean Special Ed.?" With the light bulb above our son's head appearing as he replied "Oh, yeah, that's it! What does it mean?" I then caught on to what the boy was asking, and questioned "Where did you hear that?" I wanted to know what context he had heard it in so as to know what was really meant by the statement. Our son went on to explain the day our neighbor lady was talking about her cat who thinks it is a dog and will chase and meow after dogs 3 to 4 times it size, as if that would scare the dog. She then refered to it as being special Ed. I explained what she ment and what the Ed. in Special Ed. meant. I thought it was cute how he thought Ed. was someone's name. I got to thinking about it all and latter that day God asked me "Are you 'Special Bob'?" I replied, What Lord? What do you mean?" He hasn't answered me but, as I have pondered this question I have to say that I am not 'special Bob', however I am 'spcial Patty'. For the Lord knit me together in my mother's womb and I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am not an acident, or mistake or and ooopppss. I am God planned person, woman, who is special in God's eyes and I know that He loves me very much.
So, in conclusion, I ask you this question...
"Are you a 'Special Bob' or Nancy or Kyle or Taresa, or .....?"
