Bedtime..

"Momma, my heart feels better," says Liam to me at bedtime tonight. "I am so glad. Why was your heart hurting, Bubba,?" I asked. "Because I love Sydney," he says. "How did your heart get better?" I ask. "Because I love Jesus. Jesus is in heaven. And Sydney is heaven too, Momma...with Jesus." Oh, my God! Can I please have the heart of a child to love my Lord? Can I please see that simply like a child and believe like a child again? He told me that he talks to Sydney, about cats and pyramids. So, I remind him before I say goodnight that no matter how sad he may see Mommy get lately, or how much he may see me cry or be sad over missing Sydney...that he makes me so happy. That I am so lucky to have him. That I love him so much. That he is my little miracle and he makes me smile. That I am so grateful to be his Mommy. And when I was done, he said...."Amen."

I keep wanting to catch the show on tv where the girl goes digging and finds tourquoise. I have some special pieces which I adore, including some from my grandson. To find that gemstone reqires a positive action. It requires searching and turning under other stones and removing dirt and grime. Finding that perfect gemstone requires work. I am still searching for that one thing that will turn it all around for me. Liam, you are such a treasure to your momma and daddy. My heart tells me you will be the one. Mamaw
