The boy redeems himself!

This sweet boy gave me chills!! 

Driving down the road (remember this is when Case does his deep thinking), Case all of the sudden says, “mama, I don’t ever want to be nailed to a cross!”

“I don’t think you will be, buddy! That only happened a long time ago!”

“Nuh-uh!! I know a little boy that was growin up to be a king, and before he got growd good people nailed him to a cross!”

Before I can say anything Caroline pipes up and says, “Was it Jesus?”

Case looked at her real puzzled and said, “you know him too?”

It was the sweetest little thing!! Then Anna, Case and Caroline went on to have the most precious little conversation about Jesus, and how much he does for us!! 

It is THESE conversations that I never want to forget! 

(An oldie but goodie of my three angel loves!)

AND their sweet childlike faith (that I need a spoonful of daily)!

Tonight Case prayed  his nighttime prayers, and the. at the end he added- “...and God, can you come back with Jesus? Then we won’t need a sunshine and it won’t get dark at night!”

I thought that was adorable! He may only be four (almost five), but he is absorbing so much at his little school where Christ is the center of his education, and Anna and Caroline are too! 

Every day! It’s relationships they receive at school- not just knowledge! Relationships with Christ, and Christ-centered relationships with others- plus knowledge beyond anything I could ever imagine learning at their ages!! 

Okay- that is my one cent ad for Regents, but I do love it- and I LOVE the sweet whispers of the Holy Spirit I hear every day coming out of the mouths of my three littles!! 

(Backup) Liar, Liar

Case’s nose should be as long as a telephone wire!

(Picture taken around Halloween)

Y’all! He makes up everything! If you follow my Instagram or Facebook you most likely saw his thread of bedtime videos...saying he was scared of nails falling on him in the night-he is NOT! He’s scared that the ceiling fan will fall on him because it did in the old house-He is NOT, and it did NOT...etc, etc, etc! 

He has always been our little joking prankster, but this may take the cake!! Last night we were walking into a Mexican restaurant, and we passed a lady coming out as we were going in. Without missing a beat Case looks at the random stranger, puts BOTH his hands up as if he were about to be arrested and says, “umm- I have the chicken pox!”

What?!?!?!

I pull his hands down in a New York minute, “What?!? No you don’t!!” Look at the lady with my eyes bulging out of my head as it swivels back and forth saying “No, he doesn’t!” Back at Case. “No you don’t!” Back at the lady -“I have no idea what just happened! He has never had chicken pox.” She starts laughing.” “I had no idea he had ever even heard of them before!” Case is laughing, I’m dying! I said, “Case!! You cannot joke about Chicken Pox!”

“How come?” 

“Because you’ll scare people to death! It’s like telling them you have the stomach bug or something!”

“Oh- hahaha! Okay!”

Y’all!!! What am I going to do with him???? 

He is a nut- my little nutty acorn nut!
