Where there's a Will

I always thought that newborns  would be my all time favorite ages with my kids, I was wrong. As Turner gets ready for first grade and Tate enters pre-K I find myself enjoying them more and more. We have some really good conversations, they are learning to get along better, and the older they get the more responsibilities they can handle.
Last night Turner had his best buddy Will over to spend the night. Will is our neighbor and I couldn't have custom ordered a better best friend for my son. The boys played all night, then they got settled in and went to bed. This morning they got up and played the Wii. I went into the kitchen and got breakfast ready, then I got nervous. Every morning I read a devotional to my kids, we talk about it, and say our weekly memory verse. It's so easy and it's one of my favorite parts of the day with my kids. I got nervous this morning because Will was here. I doubt myself when it comes to sharing the Bible. I always feel like the person I'm sharing with will know that I don't have all the answers or will notice if I screw something up. I wanted to be a good example for my kids that it's  OK to talk about with your friends about God, so I swallowed my silly anxiety and treated this morning like any other morning.
I sat down with the kids and started our lesson. It was based on Ephesians 4:26 "Do not let the sun set while you are still angry." We all talked about how we've all fought with our brothers or sisters and how God wants us to forgive each other. Will listened, answered questions and cemented his place in my heart.
I'm sure there are sweet, respecful, responsible little boys all over the United States, but I believe they are more heavily concentrated in the South. All the handsome little men I know call me Mrs. Tiffany or (my heart be still) Mrs Currier. They say mam and sir, without being reminded. Little boys hold doors open and offer help when I haven't asked for it. My love for each of my children grows daily and so does my love for their friends. We're so lucky to have "good kids" for ours to play with and have as their piers.   So where there's a Will, Patrick, Evan, Cal, a Christopher and Drew, Brady, Parker, Eli and many many others is a great place to be.
