So long since I've written... The days go by so fast and the boys say the cutest things and I have GOT to start blogging more!!! I want to look back and remember the little things and smile... and cry I''m sure... So here are just a few of my favorites as of late... Gabe has named me "long take time..." He said this to me one morning as he was requesting his breakfast in a rather demanding tone... I said to him, "who do you think I am? Your servant?" He said "no mommy, you are "long take time" because you take a long time to do everything! What a sense of humor he has... and that is so true by the way :) We have a neighbor JD who has just moved away... The boys are so sad... JD was like part of the family... We would come home and find his bike in the driveway and him awaiting us either in the backyard or actually one day in our garage... He knew where his favorite snack crackers were in the pantry and always helped himself.. I loved that... I told him he was like one of ours... Needless to say the boys were heartbroken about him moving... Gabe said to me he was my best friend the "same old." Sweet baby.. I can't even correct him he's so cute... Probably my favorite story however about JD's leaving is what Jayce told me early Friday morning...Jayce came downstairs teary eyed... It was a night I had not slept well and was up early Jayce said to me "momma I could not sleep last night because I was so sad about JD moving.. He said he had cried all night and early morning... He then told me that he and Gabe had PRAYED TOGETHER about this... This momma started shedding tears... I have told my boys often about the verse Matthew 18:20 "where two or three are gathered in my name, there will I be in the midst of them..." before asking them to join me in praying for someone else... I didn't know they were listening or cared.. THEY WERE LISTENING AND CARED!!! On those days that I feel like it's going in one ear and out the other... something very important has gone in and stayed in the heart...the something that I want them to remember for ever and always, when I am long gone..Bring your problems to Jesus... bring Him everything... it is all important to him, never to big or small... He will be there when no one else can or will be...
