While taking John Henry to school yesterday, I told him, “Thank you.”
“For what?” He asked.
“For being John Henry Landreth. I wouldn’t want you to be anyone else but you.”
His blue eyes lit up and a smile raced from ear to ear. “You’re welcome, Mom.”
I so want my children to know that they are wonderful JUST AS THEY ARE. That they are fearfully and wonderfully made.
God makes no mistakes.
He knew us long before we were ever conceived.
I usually don’t give you assignments. But let me encourage you to tell your children today that you are so glad that they are who they are. Who God created them to be.
I bet they smile.
Oh, and I can’t even believe I’m going to say this….
But.

I believe it is important to tell our children how special they are too! I loved this blog, it was really sweet! I think our Grandchildren are an extension of that love that grows. I didnt’ get that from my childhood days, just wasn’t done back then. But I get it now and am appreciated! And my girls tell me all the time back. Great job!!
LOVE those precious comments from your parents. So very sweet.
And yes, girlie, Boomer Sooner. so proud of you for breaking down and saying that with your fancy southern accent. That’s precious too!
You can say Boomer Sooner since they aren’t playing UGA! lol..This post made me smile too. I used that exact scripture on Alex’s Senior Ad Year Book Page!
This is great. I do tell them I am proud and I love em.
You got the good pick in the parent lottery. For Sure!!!
