Being with "my" kids for the past week and a half has been such a blessing. They have challenged me to talk about the end times, heaven and hell in ways that are honest, loving and age appropriate. They have delighted me in talking about and asking about things that we talked about over the past three years - they still remember the apple analogy for the trinity, have their favorite Bible stories they like to hear, and pray in heart-felt and surprising ways.
But best of all they're kids. We've gotten to go on walks with unicorn pegasuses, dragons and fairies, write a fairy tale, and pretend we're flying. We've had our inside jokes and silly antics. They remind me constantly that it's ok to fail and that EVERYONE makes mistakes. And they love me just for being me.
How thankful I am for them and how God has (and still does) use them.
