Love His Heart!

I was driving this afternoon, on my way back from our latest little adventure (grocery shopping with both boys and no Daddy) when my sweet Monkey said the sweetest thing. I just had to share it but realized it was too long for a fb status and so, it was necessary to revive the blog...again. Someday, I'll write consistently but since showering on a regular basis is sometimes a challenge, I wouldn't recommend holding your breath for that!

Anyway, back to the story...well, with a little background. We realized earlier this year that Drew has a major heart for missions and also helping those in need. Operation Christmas Child was his own little campaign. The Salvation Army had nothing on this kid - who had to be reminded that it was slightly inappropriate to answer our door with a bucket in his hand and demand for people to empty their pockets for "poor kids". He even told a cashier at Target, "I have Jesus in my heart and care about poor kids...you should too!" He tells us fairly often that when he grows up, in addition to being a fire fighter, a Marine, a football player and a doctor, that he's going to rescue those poor kids and tell them about Jesus.

He took it to a new level today though...and shed some more light into that sweet mind and heart of his. From the back seat I heard him say, "Mommy? When I'm a grown-up I'm going to marry a poor girl and we'll help save those poor kids together. She'll be poor because she won't have a husband or a child...but then she'll marry me and I'll take care of that." Talk about melting my heart! I love my Monkey and his heart!

Oh, by the way, when talking about his future wife, he refers to her as "Honey".
