Let the little Children teach us......

So today I was mowing and I came around the house. I was a little annoyed and Darrell was standing there. He of course ask me by the look on my face what was wrong. Well normally I really watch what I say in front of little ears. Especially JOSY because if there are 500 good things she picks up on the bad. So anyway I began my RANT...... I said "I am so mad I could spit nails and nail down the tin on Robby's ( my dear godfather that owns the farm across the road) barn roof. Robby if you are reading this I appreciate all you have always done for me and my family:) I love you and thank you for your influence in my life! Anyway back to the story of my sinful actions. Well my dear Josy took it literally and thought I was going to actually spit nails. This really concerned her and she said"Mommy you can not put nails in your mouth they have germs and what if some got on our driveway we would get a flat tire." Well I immediately calmed myself and said "Oh honey I am not really going to spit nails." She said "Well you were not being very nice and you have to be the bestest mommy in the world so you have to try very hard, ok?" It broke my heart! I apologized to her and she hugged me and told me how much she loved me. It was a scene that had been written many times in the way I had dealt with her. She was in a way mirroring her mommy. I mean the way she had seen me deal with her. I looked at Darrell and said "Wow that was like a word from God himself!" All I can say is it truly humbled me!!!!!
