You're the Best

We fished with imaginary stick fishing poles...

 pretended trash we pulled from the lake was treasure...

 ate ice cream until he got a brain freeze at the local creamery...

 fed hotdog buns to Rufus the calf, two fat sheep, 2 billy goats and 1 BULLY goat.

 Then we drove to a hillside and sat and watched heavy equipment grade the land.

An important safety lesson was learned as we found a flattened, baby, lizard on the garage floor.

His mama must not have taught him to stay clear of moving cars.

 Coming back home we did the laundry and snuggled in the warm clothes from the dryer!

 The evening was magical as we sat by the fire, under the stars
wrapped up in a blanket and ate warm mini cinnamon buns.

The next day, after a wonderful adventure in the woods,  were sitting at the counter eating a very late lunch of leftover pizza, watermelon and sliced strawberries.  This precious 3 year old looked at me and said, "Mama Boo, you are the best."  All I had done was be there for him.  I'd listened to his stories and tried my best to answer his questions.  I fed him when he was hungry and held him close reminding him he was created  and loved by God  and oh, so very important to many people.

For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 

encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God,

who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

1 Thessalonians 2:11-12

God knew we would never outgrow the needs of being fed, encouraged, comforted and noticed.  He created us that way so we would seek and find him. He is our treasure.  Today, Lord we say,

You are the best!
