What a compliment

So tonight, we were all in the living room watching a little Joel Osteen on TV, and he was talking about people being talented. Joei piped in and said, "I'm talented, and I have a lot of friends." Who knew the two went hand in hand, but to a four year old, I guess they do.

Then she proceeded to tell me that I was talented and that daddy was as well. So Joey asked her what she thought he was talented at to which she replied, "preaching!"

Now that was so cute, it really touched Joey's heart, you could totally tell. But then she went on to say one more thing, she said to him, "and you love people."

I just thought that was so neat. She knows that her dad loves people. Of course she threw me a bone and later said that I do too, but that probably was because she saw me tear up. It just blessed me.

I guess you just think that your kids see all your flaws, all the time. Parenting brings out the worst in me sometimes, that's for sure.
