As Mason and Garrett were slowly making the hike down the alley for school yesterday, Garrett was attempting to negotiate with Mason for equal time pushing Wagner in the stroller. After several surprisingly civil comments, i overheard Mason say, "Ya know Garrett, life is just not fair." it was spoken with such authority and with a matter-of-factness.
it struck me as hilarious that Mason, in all his 8 years of wisdom, is training Garrett to know what it is taking me 33 years to realize. Get over it sometimes, life is not fair.
Mason did finish his lecture to Garrett with, "God has different blessings planned for each of us-so it can't be fair." funny... i pray they will share many more conversations that will influence their hearts for God.
This reminds me of the time all three older boys were riding in "Grammy's" car while i had a doctor appt. After several inappropriate words were spoken, in a Grandmotherly way, my mother told them to pretend Jesus was in the car. Garrett so eloquently responded, "Why would Jesus want to ride with us?" I love those kids!
