Jack randomly asked me the other day - 'Who gave us Theo?'
Hoping he didn't want a medical answer, I quickly told him that God had given us Theo. Just like God had given him to us. To my relief, he seemed satisfied.
He then followed up a couple minutes later, 'Did God give us Daddy?' to which I answered yes. Not wanting to leave me out, he then said 'God gave us you too Mommy?' Again I agreed.
He then asked, 'Did God give us Dave Lewis (one of Jack's best friend's Dad - and one of our friends!)?'
I chuckled and said, 'Well, yes. God did give us Dave Lewis too.'
I laughed because I have no idea why Jack would have jumped from our family immeidately to Dave Lewis (most likely because he is one of Jack's favourite poeple and in this case Jack is a good judge of character!). It was really amusing to me. But as I thought about it more, I thought what a great perspective. Yes, God has given us all of our friends. And for that we are very grateful! Thank you Lord for giving Jack an inquisitive mind from which I can learn. And thank you Lord for giving us Dave Lewis too!
