I am not really all that sure how Merrill and I have been so blessed with each one of our children. Now do not get me wrong, some days are just so much longer than others. There are days that I am not sure just how we will get to the end of the day, but God always is faithful to us and somehow we make it. IT is a wonderful feeling.
Then, as with every other parent out there, you get a "WOW Moment". That time when you hear something that just makes you go "WOW". That happened to me just the other day. It was actually the first day of Vacation Bible School. I had upset McClain by asking that he be moved into the older group as that was the group he belonged in. He was totally worried about it and let me know he was disappointed. Really, what was a Mom to do?
Towards the end of the morning, I asked him how things were going shooting him the thumbs up sign. He shot back a rather sad face. I felt like a total heel. So, knowing that McClain sure knows how to get to me, I ask his now new teacher how he did that morning. What she told me just blew me totally away.
She told me that our 8 year old son was probably going to be a preacher. She said he had down theology in a way that she could have never explained to the children that morning, but he did and they understood it. She went on to tell me that McClain explained to his class that it had to be Jesus' blood on the cross because it was without sin. Every other man's blood had sin in it so it was no good. Just Jesus and His blood.

Thank You so much Lord for this child that you have given to Merrill and I.
