The Magic Secret






Isaac: 1 yr. old




I am in love with this boy...
Have you ever seen such a face?
I want to consume him and never let him go!

My little baby is starting Kindergarten in less than 2 weeks.
Big deal you say?
That is what I used to think... "Calm down moms.....
your kid isn't moving out."
Well, here I am and I feel like I am turning him out to the wolves.
And yet, those who get to spend every day with him don't know how lucky they are.

This boy has a BIG heart.
He is down right good.

Easton couldn't ask for a better big brother.
His imagination is out the roof!
His compassion is compelling.


Tonight for F.H.E we talked to Isaac about a magic secret.
I told him a story of a boy who held a magic secret in his heart. NO matter where he was or what happened to him, no one could take it away. If something bad happened to this little boy or his feelings were hurt or he made a bad choice and got in trouble.... it was ok, because he had a magic secret.

Do you know what that magic secret is?

"Heavenly Father and Jesus love me." Isaac whispered in my ear.

He was right. That is the magic secret.

"Mom, will you remind me that every day before I go to school?"

Alright, twist my arm.

That's so sweet! It melts my heart! I feel exactly the same way about B leaving for school. I'm going to miss her so!

I agree it totally scares me to send them out into the world...almost makes me want to homeschool..but I know I would be no good at it. Loved hearing his words and it was good to talk to you today...I need to buy that book for sure!
