THE FUNNY THINGS THEY SAY!

This month's challenge over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles is asking you to create a project that focuses on the people in your life that brighten your day with their silly side.  More specifically, the funny things they say


I immediately thought of a story from when my older son was just over 2 years old.  He had recently been to a children's puppet performance at church that was followed up by an alter call which he went up all by himself and asked Jesus to come into his heart.  One of the other things Robert loved was trains.  All kinds.  We would take him out to local train shows on a regular basis.  The journaling on my page tells the story...it reads:


Imagine what I thought when you were driving to work with me one morning and from the back seat your tiny voice says..."Mommy, I want Jesus to come out of my heart."  I nearly slammed on the brakes right on the highway.  "NO!  You don't."  Determined, you said "YES I DO!  I want him to come with me to the train show on Saturday!"


Here is my layout:

Hope you enjoyed this little peek into my now 19 year old son's childhood.
Thanks for stopping by.
