I would think that most people would probably say it is too early to tell, but I think my sweet boy has a real desire to serve. I have really noticed it a lot lately. When I am sweeping the floor, he comes and wants to empty the dust pan for me. When someone spills water on the floor he runs to get a towel and wipes it up. When I am making dinner, he loves to put the forks on the table to help. When I vacuum, he pushed his toy vacuum right along beside me-the whole time-not just for a minute and then he gets distracted, the whole time. He pushed his toy mower along with Greg as he mows the lawn the whole time too. The other day we came home from the store and our neighbor was out mowing her lawn and as soon as I put him down he headed right over to get is toy mower and started booking it over to Verna's. I called him back, but I think he would have gone over and helped her mow if I had let him. And today I caught him out with his dad pulling weeds in the back yard. I mean, he doesn't slow down, he doesn't get distracted, he stays right there doing his part to help until the job is finished. Could he really have been born with a heart ready to serve? Oh how I hope and pray I get to see him grow, and watch as this precious part of his personality develops.
