I am in my minivan driving my second born to school today and, as we pass by a neighbors house, he shares: "Yesterday, my friend and I were bored so we went by Miss Clemmie's house, knocked on her door, and sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to her.". Are you kidding me?! Who does this?!
Miss Clemmie is a recently widowed woman of 70 or so. A real sweetheart who bakes a mean cake. In James 1:27, we are called to "look after orphans and widows". I asked my son if she liked it. He said she did.
I wish I were more like this. Climbing out of repetition and boredom to sing a song to someone. Not necessarily literally—though that would be cool—but creating something out of nothing. To make a moment—to make a mark.
sounds like you have done something special to have such a special child.
