Precious Moments

I had such a good time with Noah last night. We made pumpkin pies and then, while they baked, we sat down to go over his memory verse, Psalm 1:5. (He's learning the whole chapter, verse by verse, for school.) I was so touched, as we cuddled together, to listen to his sweet child-voice, reading, "Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous." He had to practice the word congregation, but got it down. These are the high points of parenthood. Just when I've tired of scolding him, or making him sit through a cello practice, this kind of moment makes it all worth it.
