a story of jathen and me

I am so blessed to have the opportunity to be a witness and example in this little mans life. He will be two in December and I have been watchn him since about five months old at least twice a week on average and about seven and a half hours at a time.
 ....so for the last 18 months I have watched him aproxiamately 1008 hours of his life so far...(if I figured that correctly)
so a little story from this last week that totaly made my day:

   So on thursday when getting him dressed, I looked for a white beater to go under his t-shirt and I could not find one; so I then used a long sleeve black shirt (which i think was actually a pj top) for the under- neath shirt. It had the ribs of a skelton on the tummy and bones down the arms. and as I put it on hime i said" oh the body..without realizing he was paying attention" refering too the bones to form the shape of his body. I then grabed a new long sleeve shirt out of his closet...which had a skull on the middle...I dont really like skulls and normaly I tend to not choose them when dressing him. But it was about 38 degrees out and I wanted long sleeves to keep him warm. I proceeded to put it on him as he looked down after his head went thru the top and was putting his arms thru the holes... and he says " Pirate arr" It was sooo cute..so I said yay a pirate arr"... and I said oh, wait..whats underneath? and I lifted the top shirt so he could see the shirt underneath, and he looks down pointing at his tummy and Said " the body" oh I started to laugh it was so cute. He showed everyone throught the day he was very proud of both the pirate and his body.

My thought on this little; but semi long story... as we go thru day to day activities.. the things you say and do have effect on people. and they are listening to what you say and watching what you do...
We are a living example and someone... no matter how younge or old..are watching and learning from you.

Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatsoever thy HAND FINDETH to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
