On the way home from our first Thunder game in years, and Levi's first one ever, in an effort to re-focus a tired toddler up way past his bedtime, Gib asked a simple question:
"Levi, what are you?"
There was a pause, so Gib continued, "You are mighty."
And from the backseat, the sweetest little voice continued, "and compassionate and strong and gentle."
There are so many days when I am well aware of the mistakes I make as a parent and wonder if any of the things that I want to be impressed upon his heart are in any way being communicated effectively. But tonight? Tonight, my heart melted with reassurance and I nearly cried from the preciousness of the moment. What a sweet surprise.
Yes, Levi Blaze, you are all of those things. And so much more.
