This evening as I laid with Jack before bedtime we had some great conversation that I don't want to forget. He was asking about people Brian dated before me. I explained that I did not know their names but that basically Daddy dated them but they decided not to date anymore and then he met me. He asked if I had married someone else would he still be my son. I began to explain that Jesus always planned that Daddy and I would marry and he always knew that he would be our first son. Jesus knew long before we ever met and how cool is it that Jesus knows us and everything about us even before we do. I also told him that some where in this world a little girl is going to bed and Jesus has a plan for her life and that maybe it will be for her to meet you and marry you. Jack then responds..."Great...what if Jesus forces me to marry her and I don't think she is pretty?" Ha! This kid cracks me up. He also asked me if I thought if all the girls that Daddy dated before me were sad that he did not pick them to marry. So funny!
We talked for quite some time about everything from having to kiss at your wedding, marriage, Jesus knowing everything about our lives even before we do, what kind of dates he could go on someday, and how many days left of school before Christmas break. It is times like this (when I slow down) that I am reminded that I am so blessed that Jesus picked me to be his mom and He knew him before I ever did and knew that I would lay in a bed in this house and get to talk to him on this night.
