When the Harren family was here over March 31st - April 1st...
I learned something.
Daddy Harren was sitting on the couch, his only son (our only grandson) sitting right next to him... he began with his strong voice telling me a good story. This man has the capability within him to make me laugh.
He has the ability to melt my heart.
His story had me doubled over in laughter and when I stood back up, I noticed his little boy looking at me with the most beautiful smile...
Conner learned something.
He learned that it is good to make people laugh. That laughing is good medicine for the soul...
and his smile melted my heart.
Tonight Conner's family is on their way to Roseau to see a great grandpa that is very sick. It is a long ways to their destination - 7 hours of non-stop driving makes it difficult to find things to smile about...
and Conner says "dad, Sawyer says that there is vampires, do you think there is?"
Daddy Harren sitting in the drivers seat says "no, Conner there is not any vampires"
and his son answers him "that's right dad, because God only makes beautiful things right?"
Daddy Harren learned something.
He learned that it only takes a moment of listening and you can find out what is in the heart of a child.
And this story of my little guy, melted my heart.
Driving to Roseau, 7 hours in a van, we all learned something.
There is no more precious gift that one can receive than the unconditional love of a child. Thank-you God for making my family...
You only make beautiful things!
