For me, one of the best things about being a mom is seeing the individual gifts that God has given each of my children. They are all so very different and Jason and I enjoy the challenge of helping them grow these gifts.
As I was going through some of my many photos I found these of my middle boy, Ky. He is 6 and is gifted in so many ways.
One of my favorite gifts that my boy has been abundantly blessed with is how intentional he is with everything in life.
He loves deeply.
He protects fully.
He is deliberate.
Patient.
Steadfast.
He goes out of his way to help his baby sister.
Just after she was born he saw her for the first time in the hospital and he said, "Mom, I'm her 'tector." (meaning protector)
At the age of four he made that promise and he lives it out everyday.
He is also extremely patient with both his little brother and his little sister.
Sure, he does reach his limit from time to time but overall he does really well.
He also values your time and openly shows his appreciation for it.
No matter what the activity - whether it is helping me cook, doing "man stuff" with his dad, ory even curling up and watching a movie - he deeply values the time you are spending with him.
He often says, "I just want to spend time with you."
Ky is a great son and such a blessing to our family.
I am constantly amazed by the lessons that I learn on a daily basis from my children. And Ky's continual lesson to me is to always be intentional.
Be intentional with your time.
With your relationships.
With your passions.
And with your promises.
I love that.
And I love you Ky James for always being my reminder.
