Bedtime Surprise

Wyatt, our first grader, has made the turn and dived headlong into reading. Most nights, we let him and Seth grab a book or two - and a flashlight - to take to bed. Tonight, I was pretty surprised when Wyatt pulled Holy Curiosity off the shelf. While walking back to his room, book in hand, Wyatt said, "Daddy, I like reading your books."

A few minutes ago, I overheard Wyatt reading the dedication, out loud: To Wyatt and Seth...I pray you always have the courage to ask true questions; and I pray your heart is bold and patient to listen for God’s reply.

Hearing my six-year-old son read those words ... it doesn't get any better.
