I was cleaning out my school desk recently when I came across a little square piece of paper with the words HUG ME written on it.  A smile came across my face as I was taken back to the day 3 years ago when I found this little slip of paper taped to my then 3 year old daughters back.  When I asked my then 9 1/2 year old son about it he grinned and explained "I'm a homeschool bully Mom!"  LOL  I just love homeschooling!

Yesterday that same son (Now 11 1/2) and I had the opportunity to go on field trip, just the 2 of us.  It was weird being alone with just him in the car.  I mentioned how odd it felt not having his brother and sister along.  We started talking about all those years (6 1/2) that he was an only child.  I (cautiously) asked him if he ever missed those days....I was delighted when he responded "No way Mom, I love having a brother and  a sister.  I remember all those years that I prayed for a brother OR a sister, then God gave me BOTH!"  Have I ever mentioned I love that kid!!!

Dear God,
Thank you for the awesome ways you answer our prayers!  Thank you for my 3 miracles.  May I always remeber they are a gift from you and may their relationships always be a gift to each other .
In Jesus Name, 
Amen
