Noah

This is gonna be quick, but I have to write it down before I forget. Nothing funny or situational. Just simply want to record my love for Noah. He is amazing. God has given me a miracle. At this moment, as I fold clothes in my bedroom and put them away, I reflect on how incredible Noah is to me. And it's not because he and I have had the dreamiest day ever together because we haven't. But he forgives me.....when I need to be forgiven. He hugs me and snuggles me and compliments me..........when I need all those things. He is so very smart it blows my mind. He is extremely creative and while his constant building/creating ventures torture me at times, I realize it is a rare gift he has, and I need to let it grow. He thinks about things that 5 yr olds should not be thinking about. But it tells me he is like his mama and likes to prepare himself for things. He wants to figure the bigger picture of life out. But there is no fear in him with regard to that (now, riding his bike is a different story......sigh). He is so confident and in awe of God that nothing about life worries or scares him. And as I've voiced before, he would gladly die today just so he could be with God. He dreams about heaven. I don't.
As I just put some pj's away, an envelope fell out of my drawer. I clutched it to my chest and then smelled it. The timing is amazing considering...............it is an envelope filled with potpurri that Noah sealed and decorated when he was 3. We did it together. He had me draw on the outside of the envelope all of his favorite smells. So it has a flower, pizza, an orange, and pancakes with syrup. We put it in my drawer back in TX and obviously it was still hidden there all this time. Thank you God for that gift! Man, I pray I get to spend a lifetime with this kid. I pray he only grows in his love for God. I pray his sensitivity and love for others only multiplies with time.


Alright, back to folding........
