“The soul is healed by being with children.”
Sometimes, during the course of everyday life, my kids will say something that just stops me in my tracks. At times like this, they will make me smile, chuckle, laugh and sometimes cry. I'd like to think it's validation of our parenting, but more likely it is God's way of making me a better person through them.

Me: “When you grow up do you want to be a professional

until you get home”
