A quote from Corbin

I was getting ready to hop in the shower the other morning and Corbin ran out of my room with enthusiasm saying, "Mommy I am going to write you a quote!" I said, "OK ,who is the quote from?"  He looked at me like I was from outer space and said "Me!" "Wonderful, I can't wait to read it." I said as I went into the bathroom.

So he must have gone to the school room and got a white piece of paper and wrote out his quote.  When I finished getting ready he told me the quote was waiting for me on the dresser.
This is what it said:

We are like a plant on windy days. But God is like the grass on days that are windy he is still. Corbin

This was totally unexpected.  I expected it to be about his stuffed animals or a game he was playing.  I did see him earlier that morning looking out the window for a longer period of time.  Now I know what he was noticing.  It melts my heart to know that a 5 1/2 year old has thoughts like this.  That they can be about God and who he is.  I will treasure this forever. I am encouraged to keep teaching Corbin about who God is and His character as well as giving him a Godly worldview. Our children are never too young to learn this. 

Clearly the Holy Spirit was at work in this boys heart that morning.  Praise God!

  3. Corbin has the kind of child-like faith that Jesus talks about in Matthew 18:3. His heart is amazing and his "quote" is precious. - Love Uncle Jeff
