two funny conversations with a little girlSo josh and I had thanksgiving with some friends from his work. We were in town, because I was on call for the holiday at the hospital. I know this family somewhat, very nice people. We gather to pray before our meal. Little girl wants to pray.
"dear God. Thankyou for Thanksgiving. and please let the jareds have children. amen"
pause. awkward silence. we sit. I say thankyou, I needed that prayer (I really did). I am pretty desparate these days. I think to myself, maybe this is a sign!
We eat. She looks at me.
"I never met a wife with out a children"
pause. drink a sip of wine. I smile. I say something like, "I am kind of weird". she eats her turkey.
So what seemed like a prophetic prayer might have really been that she found me to be a very strange wife. without a children.
kids. love them. i really do.
