Today has been a day of trials for sure. I just found out that best friend is moving to Japan next year instead of back to the states, the kids were soooooo testing me on the way to school (and on the way home for that matter) and Little W had to sit in the "thinking chair at school (the comment from his teacher was..."we have had to use his name more today than we have all year.") What an exhausting day. Seems minor but with big W out of town it just escalates everything.
Then...this happened this afternoon.
Me: "Walter what do you have in your hand?"
W: "Baby Jesus."
Me: "Why are you carrying around baby Jesus from the nativity set?"
W: Because I love him and want him with me all the time."
I think that just took the icing on the cake and made all the memories of the bad behavior wash away. He is so sweet and has such a sweet heart.
Wouldn't it be great if we could fit Jesus in our pocket and carry him around with us? This really made me refocus and rethink that we need to be more in tune with Christ so that he is with us all the time. What would I do without him? Was me running late this morning Him preventing me from being in the wreck at the front of the neighborhood? What does He do all day that I don't even notice?
I want a little Jesus to put in my pocket and carry with me! Yes he is in my heart, but it would be so cool to have a mini one to have in my pocket to pull out on days like today!!!
