Precious Moments

Precious Moment #1

Setting the Stage:

• For those that don't know... Whit takes "grow juice"... a nightly injection of human growth hormone to enhance his ability to reach his genetic potential. This is a long-term commitment.
• Whit has been having a successful go at potty training.

The Precious Moment:

• "Mommy, now that I tee-tee on the potty - I'm BIG!! Now, I don't need my grow juice!"

Precious Moment #2

Setting the stage:

• At the end of the school day, my three angels wait together for me to come through the car-line. Last Friday, Whit didn't go to school because of his MRI, so just Maggie and Chap were meeting in the car-line.

The Precious Moment: (that Maggie and Chap told me about)

• Chap is sitting in the car-line, waiting patiently for Maggie to come. He sees Maggie from across the entrance of the school - grins really big, and waves his hand at her. She grins, waves back, and goes to sit with him. I asked him if he was so excited when he saw her coming! He said, "Yes, because I love Maggie!"

Precious Moment # 3

Setting the stage:

• Maggie is named after my great-grandmother... Maggie Whittington. She passed away when I was 9, and was such a wonderful person!
• Maggie's Bible verse for last week was, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all of your soul. Matthew 22:37'

Precious Moment:

• We were sitting, eating supper last week, and Maggie asked. "Mom, what is your soul?" I swallowed deep and wondered how in the world to explain this to a 6-year old. I mustered up an answer. In part of my answer, I told her it was a part of you that goes to Heaven. After a little thought - she replied - "When I get to heaven, I'm going to run and find the other Maggie!"
