Last week while working with in cubbies, listening to one boy "say" his verse I had to laugh at how hard it was to understand him. The sweet kid had just turned three during the summer so he is only a few month older than James would have been.
As the boy talked I thought how wonderful it is that moms can understand their children even when no one else can. We get used to hearing their mumblings and can pick out the words.
I miss deciphering kid-speak, I wonder what words James would have stumbled over, what his first word would have been, and if strangers would have been able to understand him.
But with the sun shining thru the window I can't help but smile and remember this world is temporary, the day will come when we have eternity. To spend eternal life with my children is so much more important.
