today my poor little boy is getting a lesson on why we are here in this life.
Oliver: (in a whiny sad voice) "mom, why isn't Jesus making me better?? All day I have been asking Him to, and I don't feel any better."
I told him that when we were here to get a body and to be tested...then I said being tested means we have to go through hard things sometimes...but they make us stronger.
Oliver: "oh darn it"
darn it indeed Oliver.

And it somehow doesn't get easier as you get older. I am thrilled with the days I'm not limping.
LOVE GRANDMA CONNIE
priceless...
I love hearing these stories..he is such a cute little guy. I love the questions little kids ask.
I love this! So sweet, so trusting. Enjoy this 'sweetness' while it lasts! Feel better little OLI-BUR! Love you, bud.
Grandma
oh man... he's so funny! it's so cool that he's asking those questions already... Feel better Oli...
The other day our car wouldn't start (a common occurance for our Escort) I said to the kids, "Let's say a prayer that the car will start," thinking...they have more faith than me, surely the car will start. We said our prayer and nothing happened. I am thinking...great now my kids aren't going to believe in prayer. We tried and tried and finally the car did start. Kempton said, "Jesus made the car start!"
Cute cute....and I feel like Oliver so often! Seriously, what else can you say but "Darn it!"?
And then of course we eventually eat our words because trials DO make us stronger... :)
