Morning time

The other morning Spirit woke up early...very early...5:00 AM to be exact. Since he is typically our early riser we have told him he can not get out of bed before 6:30 so I heard him get up and use the restroom, I was already up for my "me time" and I waited to see what he would do. I heard him go back to his room. I decided to go lay with him, but I could tell after I was there that he was not going to be able to go back to sleep. So I asked him if he wanted to come downstairs with me and he could read quietly or something. He grabbed his journal and started writing odds and ends of things in there, nothing really flowed or made sense...but that's what journals are for right?

Pretty soon I see him making a list and I asked him what it was for. He said it was for people who needed prayer. Like our friend Tom, he listed me since I was sick on Monday, he listed his dad because he started a new position at work and lastly he listed his teacher. I asked what his teacher needed prayers for and he said "Because she is so stressed out and when she is stressed she gets mad at us." {awww, poor kids. awww, poor teacher.}

Then just before I told him we needed to start getting ready for school, he added one more thing to the prayer list... he wrote down that he hoped I would wake him up early everyday so we could just be together by ourselves.

{awwwwww, how sweet?}
