{ Simple, But Extraordinary }

Several weeks ago there was something Jett did that touched my heart and will forever stay in a special place in my memory.

To fully understand the story I am about to tell I have to give you a little background. Jett has struck up a friendship with an older lady (although to me she is young...young at heart) at church and they talk, share laughs, hugs, and candy (she brings him candy each time she sees him). This friendship has been going strong for several months now. It's a wonderful thing to witness. You cannot watch them together and not get a warm-fuzzy feeling (unless your heart is made of stone).

One night at worship services, we arrived a few minutes late as they are saying the announcements. We walk in and Eric and I sat down. Jett however, did not. We looked at him, but something told me to let him go. He walked down to where his friend sits and gave her the biggest hug. Everyone that was nearby paused...and soaked up that moment. My eyes welled up with tears as I witnessed his love for his friend. Others around just smiled the biggest smile. They chatted for a minute and he walked back to us.

It was a simple gesture that was normal for him, but extraordinary to all of us who watched. To see the pure love of a child, is one of God's greatest gifts. This brief moment in time will forever stay with me.

{ Proud Mom Alert! }

Proud Mom Alert! My baby (I should stop saying that...nope...I won't...he'll be my baby forever) made another 100 on a spelling test! That makes four 100's on spelling tests. And many of them came from the pre-test given on Mondays!
