This weekend was a VERY busy weekend at our house. I am co-director for the children's choir at our church and our Christmas Musical was Sunday night. I was at the church...well...all weekend. On Saturday after dress rehearsal, I met my men for a quick lunch. While we were eating the following conversation happened:
(Conversation set-up: Last week was also a Global Summit at our church and my Caleb got to meet 2 of my friends from Africa. When he met my friend James, Caleb said the when he was "9 or 10" Mommy would take him to Africa with her...ummm...probably not....but I love his heart! We did ask him why "9 or 10" and he said, "You know when I'm a grown up" so we explained that 9 and 10 year olds are still kids and he wouldn't be a grown up until he's at least 20 (; )
Mommy: So, buddy, you want to go to Africa with me when you're 9 or 10.
Caleb: No, probably when I'm like, um, about 20. (NO JOKE HE TALKS LIKE THIS!!)
Mommy: Oh, like 20?
Caleb: Yeah, when I'm a grown up.
Mommy: What will you do there?
Caleb: (coloring...) I want to give out the food to the people who don't have any. I'll go and I'll give them some. I'll hand it out.
Mommy: Wow. That's a good thing to do.
Caleb: (still coloring...) Yeah, and maybe if I find my honey, I mean my wife, she can come too and she can learn them about Jesus while I hand out the food if we don't have any kids yet.
At this point I just smiled. I mean what do you say to that? Got to love his heart...and his mind...though!
PS - stay tuned for my soon to come series on Advent...
