I went to the grocery store yesterday to pick up a few things. When you have a large family like ours, this happens pretty often. I decided to take Gee and Erick with me. They love opening the car windows when we drive. Since the temperature is now between the 70-and 80's, I have been letting them. When it is 100 degrees is quite different. So, I made the rule that they can only roll their window down if they have their seat belt on first. Rolling down the window is the first thing they want to do when they get in the car. Now, to give you some context, when you drive a 15-passenger Ford Van, windows don't roll down. For two little boys to roll down their windows is very exciting.
We went into the grocery store. Could you picture this in your mind? A 6-foot gringo (average-looking American), a 9-year-old who only speaks Spanish, and a soon to be 6 year old (in two weeks) who speaks English perfectly for a 6-year-old. So if you are someone who is shopping in the store, what do you think of this combination? Two little boys talking back and forth to each other, obviously brothers, but they don't look alike, let alone the one they call Dad. In moments like this, I cherish what God has blessed me with. I have the great privilege of raising these boys so they grow up knowing who Jesus is and how much he cares for each one of us. I am blessed.
