This morning my 5yo asked me how long it was until Mother's Day and looked disappointed when I told him. He said, "But I like to bring you breakfast in bed on a tray."
Quickly I assured him that he could bring me breakfast in bed on a tray any day of the year. I said, "You could do it tomorrow if you wanted. Just ask Dad to help you." His face lit up and he went to find his big brothers. "Guess what? We can bring Mom breakfast in bed ON A TRAY tomorrow!"
"Really?" Joe answered. "How much would we get paid for that?"

A little later I took Pete and Stella out so my husband could run the den meeting. Stella dropped her doll in the car and wailed until I hit the red light that let me turn around and pick it up for her. Pete said, "She's happy now. She's patting her baby. That makes me think about God."
"Oh, yeah?"
"Yeah. Because patting makes me think of loveness, and loveness makes me think of God."
