Well recently I was having one of those days. I was about to pull my hair out. I was wondering what Zac and I had done wrong to create such a "monster" of a child.
And then, low and behold, I look over the table and see this:
It immediately stopped me in my tracks. I smiled and thought to myself, "He is learning something... He does listen... He does have manners... I am a good parent..."
You see, Bryant was quietly saying grace before he ate his dinner. He was doing it on his own... without prompting. He was doing it even though nobody was watching. He was doing it because he WANTED to. He was doing it because even though he's only 5, he probably knows God better than Zac and I do.
This is my Favorite Foto this week because it reminds me that Bryant watches everything we do. He watches how we act and react. He is learning even when we don't think he is. And yet, he has a lot to teach us too... especially about our relationship with God. Is he an angel... NO... but he is an example of a smart, happy, kind, compassionate, prayerful little boy.
