Royalty

My son told me this week, "Wow, Mom, you look nice. You look like a princess. Really, you do." That was out of the blue, even for a very active, rambunctious 7-year-old. My guess is that G-d was speaking through him, to speak some loving words to me. And I'm thankful my son was willing to be a vessel for His service. =)

Babies Around the World

One day, my son asked, "Mom, what if someone was born at the same time that some else died?" I told him that people are born all the time, and die all the time, all around the world. His older brother chimed in, "I read in a book that every 3 seconds, a baby is born somewhere in the world." The younger one said, "Mom, is a baby being born right now?" "Probably." "What about now?........And now?....What about now?....Is someone dying right now?....And another baby being born now?....And now?" Oh, the mysteries of life. To ponder them with child-like eyes is what inspiration is made of. =)
