Love ("T" Style)

Last month, I had the kids tell what they wanted to be when they grow up. This month, I asked them to write what they love. Before they started shouting out their favorite Wii game or Buffet City, I took it a little further and asked them, "If everything was taken away from you, what would you hope to be left with? What do you love the very most?" Tricky T took a piece of paper and came back with this:

 

It says, "I love God. He's my only hope. He saved me. I love God. He made the heavens and the earth and He made the water and He made the land and the animals and the light and the dark. On the 7th day he rested."

I was blown away (and not from the poor spelling and major run-on sentence). Tricky T  HATES writing and anything that resembles school work. But he does love God and I am proud of him for writing all that out all on his own. When he was little, we used to joke that he would be a pastor one day. He had a little Gideon Bible that he carried e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e with him. It was worn out...but he would "read" it all the time. Even slept with it for a while. Who knows what God has planned for him but I can't wait to watch him grow up. I found a couple of old shots of him when he was four with his prized possession.
