Words of a Child

One of my favorite evening activities is what I think of as “one by one” walks. By this, I mean that I like to take each of my boys for an individual walk and catch up with their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and just spend a little one on one time. With three boys, the “one by one” walks don’t happen every day, but I look forward to each one, no matter how long the wait.

I was on a walk with Deep Thinker a few months ago, and he made an interesting observation.

“Mom, for toys to run, they need batteries. Ya have to buy batteries at the store.”

I nodded.

He continued, “Ya know, we are like toys…but instead of batteries, we have  souls. We can’t work without em. The best part is…we don’t have to buy em at the store…God gives us a soul for free!”
