As a parent one of the things that we pray is that our children get our best qualities and not our worst qualities. We want them to be strong, confident, and most importantly have a great relationship with the Lord. When we see our children showing our worst qualities, the things that we wish were different in our selves showing up in our children, that is something we hate to see.
But I have to say I am so proud that our youngest son, JJ, has inherited one of John's best qualities. John is the type of guy who can find something good in almost anyone. He is always speaking life into another person, feeling their pain and speaking blessings over them to lift their spirits. He gives very meaningful compliments and can show his love and concern for others in a way that is so often missing in this world.
JJ has gotten that amazing quality. He is always one to compliment people. He tells me all the time I am beautiful, I am the best mommy ever, etc. And it is not just me that he compliments. It is everyone he sees. He tells the guys at Casey's that they make the best breakfast pizza, makes sure to tell him classmates he is proud of them when he sees them in a dance program, etc. He loves to lift people us, make them feel loved, and also shows concern when he notices people are hurt or sad. He is just such a sensitive child. He might be a hand full who is all boy, but he DEFINATELY has been given a gift from God in touching people's hearts and affirming people.
