After my six year old nephew, Finn got out of the shower and was standing in all his confident glory, my sister said to her youngest child, "You are perfect...."  Finn replies, "Yeah, I'm happy with how God made me. And he or she made you beautiful, too."
These little moments are much needed taps on the shoulder to remind us that in the midst of our running and planning and scheduling and obsessing we are doing alright by our children.
I don't get enough time with this fearfully and wonderfully made creature who has been brought into my life through my sister and her husband. He is a gleaming gem in a pond of miracles...
Thank you, Finn, for the gift of an ordinary turned holy observation.
