Don't Be....Selfish!

Joshua teaches me sooooo much.....He is so smart at 6 yrs. of age that I am amazed at his unique thinking....

Recently he gave me a very profound answer and I asked him , "Joshua, how did you learn something like that?"He replied, "I just think about it in my head until I understand it!"

He certainly knows how to.....THINK!

Yesterday his Mom or Neena offered him some M&M candies and his reply,

"No thank you, it makes my blood pressure go up."

Now that is not just something that he has heard an 'older' person say.....

he can tell you where to feel the pulse on the body, what elevates it etc....

On Sunday he went to the airshow with his 'Popie' and Uncle Chuckie and 'lil Chuck' and went through the Marines Boot Camp for kids.....

he carefully explained to me every step that was taken, which one was 'very strenuous' and hurt his arms, and how fast he had to do it all....

In addition to all of the above, Joshua was chosen in his class last year as the 'most helpful to others' student because he really cares and is helpful with other 'little kids'.....

Amazing child.....smart child....caring child.....thinking child....fun child.....

that is our Joshua!

As I am reading this mornings devotion from my Bible

it reads in Philippians 2....(LB).....

"Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others.....be humble, thinking of others. Don't just think about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and in what they are doing..."

Sounds like most adults could learn a lot from the 'thinking and doing' of this 6 yr. old child....

Today I salute you dear Joshua...our JJ....our 'ring-bearer' for the upcoming wedding...

You are...Our Champion....

May God continue to bless you as you grow....
