The joys in my life

This morning Jaden walked into my bedroom holding his "babydoll" ( his glow worm he's had since he was born) and jumped on my bed. I could feel him, I could hear him, but I couldn't get my eyes open. He was just loving on dad and I. It is funny. He is hardly ever just Jaden, he is always something. He lives in pretend land from the moment he draws in that first morning breath as he stretches till he gives into sleep at night. So this little spider crawled up on our bed and told us about his dreams that he was a lady bug, I was butterfly and daddy was a catapiller in his best "spider voice". Now I was still too tired to get my eyes open or talk so I just listened. Daddy and Jadey went back and forth in this scene of spiders.....it was just precious. I can't do justice with words here, but it is those small tender moments when he is calm enough in the day to be still and talk that I truely get to see his tender heart. I get to see glimpses of what kind of man he will grow into: gentle, kind, sweet, caring, empathetic, and full of love. I love getting to hear him and his daddy pretending together. I am so blessesd to have such a gentle and kind husband, and for his godly example to both his son and me. God is truely amazing and I get the message of his love everytime I see my husband, hear my son and hold them both. I know I say this all the time, but what a blessing we have in our children and families. Thank Lord for your love.
