What are YOU thankful for?

Jones has reached the age where the answer to many questions - theological or not - is "God."

I remember Mom talking about this phenomenon when she was a teacher's aide in Mrs. English's K-4 class at Oakwood.  No matter what the teachers asked, the kids would sorta blankly stare at them and say, "GOOOOOD" as if they knew it's what the teachers wanted to hear.

Well, Jones is definitely there.

I found out this morning that Freddie is, too ... as much as a little boy who's not all that big a talker yet can be, that is.

We were working on catechisms at breakfast when this happened:


Along these lines, we were driving to have lunch with Jeremy when I asked Jones what he was thankful for. Then I asked Freddie.

ME: Freckie, what are YOU thankful for.
FREDDIE (probably blankly staring): GOOOOOOD.
ME: You're thankful for God?
JONES: And me, too.
ME: I'm thankful for God, too.
