I really can't count the number of times that, during conversation with my two kids, that Olivia has made comments that reflect the wisdom she's gaining from all the time and effort my wife, Tami, is putting in as a stay-at-home-mom. (Thanks Babe!) I truly wish I had a book of all the Godly things Olivia has said over the past year.
Just this evening, my son, Isaac, was practicing the word "no" at the dinner table. Like a good, loving big sister, Olivia took the opportunity to obviously respond, "Ok, Daddy", at the next opportunity and I jumped on the teachable moment. I rewarded Olivia with some positive praise and told her how good it was to obey her mom and dad and left it at that. Meanwhile, Isaac was enjoying repeating everything Olivia said, except with a "no" in front of it; a wonderful attention seeking behavior let me tell you. It was pretty darn funny, but not a good laughing moment if you know what I mean. Olivia decided to interject her own wisdom by telling Isaac that he would be "blessed by God" if he obeyed God, Mom, and Dad. Wow....preach it girl!
