Love my Julian

Julian received $96 between his birthday and Christmas this year. He put it in an envelope in his drawer.

Jump rope for heart came up at his school and he decided that he wanted to give $80 towards saving hearts.

A friend brought a "wocket in his pocket" for Dr. Seuss Wedensday this week. It was a "gogo" - new toy, of course, available at Walgreens. Persistently yet politely for the past 5 days he asked if I could please take him to the store.

This morning he showed up in my room, dressed for church and announced "I have $16 in my pocket, I am ready to go to Walgreens". So, after church we "gogo". $1.99 a packet for a packet of 3. He immediately picked up a package for him and handed one to his brother and turned to go check out.

I walked along speachless.

He came home put his money on the table and they played gogo battle's for hours this afternoon.

Then...

I'm cooking dinner and the boys are picking up the house, he run's in the kitchen. "Mom give the rest of this to Africa Windmill Project, send it to Dad!"

What in the world?.

I stand amazed at his priorities at his convictions at his matter of fact way of picking up one for himself and one for his brother. He isn't greedy, he isn't frivilous,

He is wonderful.

Son - I watch you Amazed at your heart, Amazed at your perspective. Thank you for teaching me today. Thank you so much for the man you have decided to become. I love you.
