Where In The WORLD Are We?

Kisses from God

I had an amazing conversation with DS8 tonight. I love those moments when they ask a spontaneous question and it turns into a wonderful talk that brings us closer. He asked me if his favorite hamster, Nicholas, remembered God. I told him that I believe that when babies leave God in heaven, he gives them a kiss. I said that we forget this, but that it is still written on our hearts. I said that Nicholas probably does remember because he's still a baby. And I told ds8 that when I held him as a baby that I could tell that he had been kissed. He loved hearing this and wanted me to cuddle with him. He is very active and we don't get to bond like this very often. He is daddy's boy. Of course, he had to verify with dad that all of this was true. But, that's ok. It was a special night and I'm blogging about it because I want to remember him this way. He has always asked me the hard questions about our faith. Sometimes, I have really struggled with the right answers. Fortunately, tonight our heavenly Father helped me to find the right words.

I think you should blog about those spiders, or one of your boys should.

Hi! I was just over at Homeschool Lounge and there's a hs mom named Shauna that's about to meet a young woman from a local university from SA. Sounds like she will be helping the lady with her English so she can work on her degree.

Shauna asked if anyone knew of any 'resources' and I thought of YOU! I'm going to give her your link so she might stop and see your blog.

AND what a lovely story about you and your son and YES, do record those moments and cuddles. Our very nearly 16 year old does talk to me but he doesn't much want a hug from me any more. I like to tuck the kids in and pray over the and he's not thinking that's too 'cool' either. I can always pray without him knowing it. I just keep pestering him and tell him it's my job and let me do my job.

Our son was saying how fast time goes by and I think he can hardly believe he's nearly 16. Me either.

Enjoy all your precious moments.

In Him,
Marie
