#138 Observations.

Getting to observe the qualities and strengths of my children is one of the most rewarding aspects of motherhood. Hallie observes everything. If an item is lost in our house, we have only to ask Hallie. “In the basement, next to the buckets, under the purple dress that was  thrown on the floor,” she might say. And she would be right. (In fact, she did say, and she was right.)

Jack, on the other hand. 

As a four-year-old, he stepped outside one morning...

 “Mama, who put the mountains there?” He said,  gesturing to the beautiful snow-covered peaks that span the horizon and fill our view each time we open the front door. Assuming he was wondering how mountains came to be, I answered, “Jesus created them.” 

In an enthusiastically shocked tone he asked, “Last night??!”

Ope. Nope. He’d just never noticed them before.
