abe is nine. my sister-in-law took these photos of him. he liked being the model and all GQ-ish. this post is just a few things i have truly enjoyed about him as of lately.
i have been thinking about miracles. in primary we discussed miracles. big miracles and small miracles and the faithful behavior that precedes them. i have noticed a lot of miracles since then.
last sunday was ward conference and miracles were discussed. it made me think again.
*this morning i was combing abe's hair. i said, "abe, do you believe in miracles?"
he said, "yes. why are you asking me right now?"
"i have been thinking about it. you know how the Lord parted the red sea for moses?"
i was spraying and combing abe's hair while i was talking.
abe said, "ya."
"'well, the Lord can part red seas for us....not really seas, but with tough things in our lives.
abe looked at his, what he felt like was, swooped/ parted hair, smiled and said, "welllll, i don't want my hair to be the red sea."
we laughed and i realized i was combing his hair a lot!
*lately, when i drop abe off at school, he looks back at me with his finger slightly in his nose (not picking of course, just pretending) but if you look a little closer, you see his pinky and thumb are also up , making a sign language 'i love you' sign. he smiles a clever smile and heads off to class.
*he had two soccer games in phoenix on saturday. he did really well and i love watching him play. i was really proud of his effort. after the 2nd game abe was walking accross the empty field over to where I was sitting, but in the middle of the field he noticed a small child waddling by himself. abe looked at the child and sort of chuckled to himself, then he looked at me and smiled. then he looked back at the kiddo, bent over and gently rolled his soccer ball to him. the baby was delighted and so was i. abe has such a gentle heart. it is one of his talents.
