A good ending to a rough night.

Tonight was a fun night in the Hughes house (enter sarcasm). It was a Monday which are always rough nights because I work that day and the kids have a long day at school. Tonight was particularly bad because Brian wasn't here. Esther cried most of the evening until I gave up trying to feed her dinner and put her to bed. I guess Noah felt the need to take up her slack because he decided to scream, cry, and spit at me (that did not go over well). Just when I was about to hit my breaking point, something happened. He started to obey and be really sweet. Praise God for knowing what we need when we need it! The night ended with prayers and Noah telling the following story...
"Mommy, you have a very beautiful dress. It is so colorful. You need a coat of all the colors of the rainbow, like that guy in the Bible. He had a coat made of all the colors of the rainbow. His Dad had one and he gave it to him. But his friends didn't like it and it made them so angry. So they took him and threw him into the lion's den. But the lion's didn't eat him and he was okay. And he climbed out of the hole and that's how he did it. Yep, that's how he did it."

Thank you God for our three year old. Give us wisdom to raise and discipline him and patience in the tough times. And thank you for giving us the opportunity to see the world through his eyes. It is a way better and more exciting world than the one we live in. Thank you God for Noah.
