Kids are something

Maciek has problems every now and then with behavior at preschool. He's into attention and often does whatever necessary to grab that attention from his teachers and the other kids. Unfortunately sometimes that has meant spitting on kids, trying to "rule" over his teachers, and even once knocking a kid off a small ladder (yes that's my son).

We have been diligent in talking to our sweet 4-year old about how God wants us to treat others so that he can begin understanding that there is more to life than just what mom and dad think or want. We also pray with him before preschool, asking God to help him remember to do the right thing.

I'm blogging about this because this morning was one of those great moments in my short time as a parent. Maciek walked into the office and said beautifully "daddy, can you please pray with me and ask God help me at school?" Of course it's not just sweet because of his developing language skills (truly amazing!) or the way he says "daddy". It's also sweet...in that same way that the Word is as sweet as honey...how he is already beginning to acknowledge God's involvement in his life.

I'm so thankful to have grown up with a family that led me toward Jesus. And I'm even more thankful that I can be a part of leading these three wonders to Him as well!
