God gave us this child 9 years ago and smiled the very biggest smile He could muster as the cradle care family handed him to us. He knew what was in store for our son and in turn for us as his parents. He knew how our bald, egg shaped headed baby would bring out the advocate fire in me and fierce patience and love in both of us. He knew how our son would help shape our faith and cause us to pause in awe at the wonder that is his little brain. He knew that my world would change over and over and over as a direct result of feeble attempts at being his very best mom. He knew how I would question myself as his figure head and turn to Him for direction and peace. He knew how those around our son would be blessed by his presence and how people near and far would laugh and clench their hearts as they read stories from his old soul and deeply questioning mind. God knew what he was doing with this quirky, joy filled, tenderhearted, unorganized, Jesus loving, well intentioned, distracted, musically gifted, giggling, pondering, honest as Abe himself, literal, inventive, ticking, irresistibly lovable son of ours. He's Gods first and ours second and that combination is the best gift we could ask for. Happy birthday non-so-little man. We couldn't be more proud of you.
On his birthday, Dude would like to pose a few of his latest questions from the "Dude's Journal of Questions" for all of you to ponder.
1. How is God just there if no one created him?
2. How do satellites project images that end up on the tv?
3. Why do we have an appendix if we don't really need it?
4. How do people know where to mine for diamonds? Do they look for lava first?
5. How did evil enter Satan if there was no sin yet?
You're welcome and good luck. This is every day for us.
